Greetings from the Critique Club...

A couple things stand out for me that I think hurt this image. I think the background is too busy with all the knobs and reflections. I think her pose is stiff and unnatural looking and I think you should have gotten rid of the stuff on the carpet. I realize it's artistic impression regarding the hard contrast of the lighting, but personally I don't care for it much. I would have liked it better with the shadows on her right side opened up. I also think there are too many body parts cut off by the crop. In general, you shouldn't crop at a joint and you've essentially done that in four places. It tends to create tension with the viewers.

If I voted in this challenge, I would have given this a 5.

I hope this was somewhat helpful, and maybe helps to explain the finish in this challenge.

So bizarre. I like it.

Watch your JPEG compression settings. I see some artifacts around her locket and a few other areas. At only a 58k file size, you could have used way less compression and gotten far more clarity in this image without those artifacts.


Like the idea though, and I am resisting the temptation to put down a joke about the characteristics of the perfect woman.

I actually like the lighting on this but I hate the tv's in the back.

Personally I'm not a fan of the shadows on her face and her body position looks awkward
