 Emily had just done a body painting shoot. The makeup artist had painted flowers on her body so we decided to use the real flowers from my tenth wedding anniversary to blend the fake with the real. We laid Emily down and then covered her in the real flowers acting as a frame. There was only one problem. Every shot I took was taken from the feet end and resulted in some very unflattering up the nose shots....Arrgh I expect Lutchenko has some great shots as he was at the head end.....

Greetings from the Critique Club.

First impressions are that the model is a little overwhelmed by all the flowers.

Technically this is good. Exposure is good, tones are nice, composition is ok but not one I favour too much.

Artistically I want to like this but find something pulling me back. Her face is made up lovely and her pose is great - sort of a sleeping beauty thing. I find she almost gets lost in the mass of flowers. Perhaps a square crop with less torso would have reduced that effect.

In summary a lovely shot but the flowers detract from the model a little.

Feel free to PM me if you have any queries.
Gerry
