Great picture, IMHO the only distraction are some small harsh shadows near the vase and from the piano lid. Great colors. Great model. Beautiful.

There might just be too much going on in this shot, which is gorgeous. Love her face, her make-up, her hair, her shoes. Leaning against the piano might have been enough, with the rest just hinted at in the dark.

The Tat takes the rest away from the vintage shot other than that it was working for me

Oh my goodness I love love love her shoes!! Good luck!

Fantastic stuff - love the pose, the dress, the location, etc....

love the contrast between the era of the room and dress and her tattoo

This is my absolute favorite - totally unique concept. The tones fit the portrayed era. Although the model is dead center, and surrounded by a lot of stuff, it is the bright colors of the objects on the right side that keep the eyes moving around the image.

On a personal note - the only thing that is jarring to me is the large tattoo on the model's arm I mean, how many elegant (or low class)women had tats back in the 20's.

Great composition and light!

I see the classic feel you were going for, but I'm not fully convinced you totally pulled it off. Mainly, the tattoo on her arm and her makeup detract from the classic-ness.

A good shot, but the sharpest focus seems to be on her right shoulder rather than her face and there is maybe a little too much focus on the surroundings- they compete with your model.

i dont like the light fixtures in the back bordering her head. light is very nice

I really like this one!

Eyes are way to intense. A bit of dear in the headlights. The face is a bit out of focus for me to and I really think this would have been better in sepia. 5

tHose are villian eyes. lol

the model looks scared! I think I would have tried using a spot light to create more drama in the shot.

i would have liked it better if the dress was shorter and there wasnt that crazy look in her eye...
