Just one quick question - why you chose horizontal orientation? There isn't any background at all you would probably want us to see...

stricly artistic style of composition. i wanted empty space around her

FWIW, I actually shot this in portrait style, and expanded the white seamless paper backdrop make pure white by light expsoure in photoshop

Artistic style is a style, but not always the preferred style.

Coming from a noob perspective here, so take it with a grain of salt if you wish, I do not like the way her legs are chopped off at the knee. Is she on her knees? it almost makes it look that way. I don't know how to put it into words, but it is just such an abrupt cut-off here, it's disturbing to me..LOL Other than that, I like all everything else

you are correct. art is subjective. preferences come down to individual's personal opinions.

I wish I could of backed up a bit more but my studio is very tight (10ftx10ft). So without resorting to distorting focal lengths, I had to deal with this crop.
