Sweet Lady

Do you like it? ore hate it?

I hope those aren't the only two options! I very much like the subject matter, but I'm not a huge fan of this processing style. I'd like to see a little more detail in the fur, and less intensity on hazy look.

She's really very pretty, and the pose and props are alluring, so I'm gonna say "Generally, I like it," with a few reservations. Her foot is a bit too close to the side of the frame, and that is causing a bit of visual tension, as is here being so low in the frame with that much top space; her placement within the frame is not harmonious, not quite in balance. Her elbows are very close to the bottom of the frame, and the space above the head is maybe eight times larger than the bottom edge spacing, so it seems a bit off-balance. The thing I have noticed is this: when a subject is very pretty, or handsome, many times flaws or issues tend to be overlooked, since the subject ITSELF is so appealing or pleasing. I LIKE the lighting; I LIKE the processing: I LIKE the pose; I LIKE the props; but I do not like the framing of the shot. It's much more than a "Like it? or hate it? "kind of thing...for me at least.

I agree with Derrel, if you can, crop it a little looser. Model, pose and lighting are fine; the processing I'm not sure about - it seems to work well for the background and her feet (almost a watercolour effect) but I think I'd rather see the main subject a little more clearly. Am I right in thinking that there's a vintage glamour hint in this effect?

She's very pretty and I like the shot. But as others have said, the processing is a bit fuzzy and just a little more 'sharpness' would be good.

What's been said about cropping. Also its very beige and I'm not sure if that's a plus or minus. On give hand it gives the photo a nicely soft airy feel. On the other she blends perhaps too well with the surroundings. I LOVE the lighting and even the expression of her face. She has a beautiful expression that matches her face
