Not her expression or the pose. But you did ok.

Hmm, I thought the pose was rather interesting. Not usually a fan of open legs but felt she pulled it off with attitude. Thanks!

I can see where an open-leg pose could work, but I don't think this one does. There's definitely 'attitude' there, but it doesn't come across as a positive attitude - e.g. a defiant attitude or even a devil-may-care attitude. I think part of it comes from her having her left leg elevated like it is. If she was leaning back on both hands with her legs straight in front of her, that would reduce a lot of the 'sleaze' vibe I'm getting.

I also feel like the image isn't being helped by the shadow running along the crease between her left leg and her swimsuit's bottoms. It tends to suggest that there's more going on than you realize - or that you want.

I think your skills are excellent. For me, and I am old school. This one just does not interest me. There is no mystery in it at all. I always enjoyed the dream with your work.

The pose seems fine to me, not as good as the last photo, but definitely good!

Uncomfortable - that is the feeling this pose and her face evokes with me. Her face has a sort of neutral look but more just says "too much sunlight I can hardly see".

I can see where you're going with the pose and to me the problem is more her right arm (left as looking at the photo). It looks too bent inward to her body and the twist of her head and shoulders feels more forced than a natural relaxed or even posed position.
It's sort of twisting/sliding her upper body away from her lower




Exposure and control is good considering it looks like really strong sunlight that you're working with.
