Maybe if she looked more like Snooki. :roll:

I personally prefer this one over the first. The eyes do look a tad on the sharp side. did you process them any? her expression is wonderful. I would like to have seen her arms posed a bit lower though. Love the tasseled hair, but would love to see this shot with the hair pushed back a bit. great shot! (sorry, I guess my C&C here was mostly just personal composition taste than actual technical stuff)

I personally like example #2 a little more. There is more shadowing to help bring dimension and depth to the subject. As pointed out her eyes are a little over-cooked but that's an easy fix if you saved the file with psd.

I actually liked both of these, they made me think and look at them more than once.

I think she's attractive, but I'm curious about her breasts as well. I know that on some male models they move their nipples to a more ideal (???) area, but I'm not sure about her breasts. They seem like they're in the middle of her torso. She might just be very tall and have that sort of physique, though. It's just the first thing my eyes are drawn to.

I'm digging the overall feel though. It's different from the normal "look at my kids! LOOK AT THEM!" threads that are posted quite frequently.

Exactly. But according to amonitor, they are exactly where they are on every other single woman who has ever walked the face of the earth...not uber-low-set and oodly close to her belly button...

Mine didn't get oddly close to my belly button till gravity took over...

Mine would probably sag if my fat stomach didn't stop their descent.

#1 - There are two things that bug me slightly.
The shadow streaking down her cheek and neck. This is a lighting issue.
I believe if she had moved her left elbow away from her body slightly, we could see her upper arm fully, rather than a disembodied appendage.

#2 - I think if she had moved her right hand so that her fingers (including nails) were holding her left arm, it would be a bit more pleasing. I'm not too fond of hands square to the camera (especially women), but having stubbed fingers looks ackward to me.

Lovely model and captured well. Thanks for sharing.

Yea, I was wondering what kind of magazine would put this on the cover. "Anorexia Fashion"?

Give her a sammich ASAP.

Stay away with BS posts like this please.

Ok how about this one?

Your picture is disturbing to look at,it hurts my eyes and my soul.... The model looks very skinny obviously. Combine that with a low cut and open dress and it exaggerates the fact that she is pale and thin. It keeps drawing your attention to her chest plate in an unnatural and distracting manner. She is a beautiful girl with gorgeous eyes and facial structure,but wardrobe selection has pretty much distracted anyone looking at the picture from even acknowledging that. The picture while it may be textbook perfect as far as the photographic skill involved, lacks any real interest other than over exasperating her physical attributes in a less than flattering manner. So congratulations, you made a beautiful girl look bad with poor representation...I cant see what magazine would look at that representation of her and think "yeah that's the one lets publish it"...

Disclaimer: I know less than nothing about photography, Im just giving you my personal advice on how I see the picture and the thought process of the general public..

Yepper. I know we're suppose to critique the photo technique, etc. But my advice is "she needs a hamburger". The industry as a whole doesn't need any more "crack-head" looking eating disorder type promotions. She has the potential to be a beautiful model, but the post in the first photo does not emulate that. As a dad who has daughters I can whole heartedly say girls that look like this should not be glamorized.

That my friend is TMI.

As another dad with a daughter, I am neither offended nor threatened by thin models. I am more annoyed by people that insinuate you must be a crackhead if you are too thin.

BTW this isn't personal for me. I happen to be fit and perfectly proportioned.

Having said this, it seems that you are implying that someone is not malnourished if their bones are showing through their skin?

Skinny does not mean healthy, I know people that have pot belly's that can run further without becoming winded than 90% of the "healthy" people you encounter.

Fat is not good looking either, but a woman with some meat on her looks more attractive than what is shown in these pictures, even if she is a bit heavy.

The look this woman has could simply mean that she has a super high metabolism. However, in most cases, it's the identifying factor for drug abuse or an eating disorder.

Dam it! I am going to kill my husband, he promised he would keep my Sexy photos private.

Yes some models have drug problems and eating disorders. Isabella Caro was a prime example of a model with a serious eating disorder. That said - it doesnt mean all thin models have drug problems and/or eating disorders. The model in this thread looks thin - no doubt about it. But....this is a photography forum - I'm sure the OP is sick of having every thread be about the weight of the model. Saying she needs to eat a burger is just as rude as saying a heavier set person needs to lay off the burgers.

I'm guessing the boob problem is in post. They do seem lower than average in the second as well, but not nearly as extreme. They also seem bigger.

I like the second photo.

Not even going to touch the "force feed her a big mac" BS.
