Silhouette of a girl (possibly nsfw)

[Restomage]

I'm still not really sure if I like it, I may reshoot it with someone who has larger breasts so I can get more defined curves. But I'm just looking for some opinions on what you all think.

Shot with a D700 + 24-70mm.

Wow, i think it looks great!

I wish there were some lines defining the front outline of her leg or legs, on the left...it just seems incomplete without that visual information. I think what is throwing it off is that the back edge of one calf is shown...holding my hand up to the screen to crop the image, it seems to me that eliminating the back of the calf really strengthens the image...when only the TOP side of the figure is shown, to me the image seems much more unified, much stronger, just better. It seems like it woulod be easy to crop the image, rotate it, and then create a larger, black canvas in Photoshop.

Nice although I understand what derrel is saying.

 

[Warren The Guy]

Yeah, missing information on left side. "Weight" is not balanced. But I like the shot. Great.

 

[Jeatley]

Very interesting! Great shot. But I will follow the rest and say crop or put a light on the front of the legs to show them? Crop is easiest!

This is great. I'm after doing some dark nudes myself soon, but will have to wait 'till I'm better. A bit more highlight on her shin on the upper leg (make sense?)would help, but it's still good.

 

[Restomage]

Yeah I had that problem as well with the shin/calf. I used only one light so I may have to use two on either side of her next time.

If you want more curve then shoot her butt. She has a really nice body.

I like the shot, but don't use a model that needs to cover the nipples of the breast. It's an artistic image, not porn. The hand over the breast completely takes away frome the overal image. your eyes immediately lock on the hand. the composition and lighting is excellent showing nice linesm, shapes, and contures. Just the hand ruins the image for me.

Interesting info on the "light weight" here by those "in the know" (I don't belong to those, when it comes to artistic portraiture or act photography), as I keep hoping to take a photo of the kind one day, myself. I am having a model in mind but still don't know if she'll ever say Yes ... since I don't have any studio lights at all, any ideas what light might work instead?

I am pretty certain the OP had a lot of that. He just cant post it here.

+1 to this.

Stunning shot! But I agree it would benefit with more curves. Or a crop... or something.. Not sure. The area of the calf that's lit.. is sort of distracting .
