Very beautiful model, first of all. The picture is incredible. My only problem is that I'm not so sure that Vogue is the right magazine for this picture. It just doesn't seem to be Vogues style judging by some of the issues the wife has around the house. However, this is DEFINITELY worthy of a magazine cover somewhere.

Looks like a Vogue cover to me! Pretty model. Well taken photo, with a tiny, personal nit - I'd like to see a little more light on her face, esp. the right side. Very pretty model!!! 9 Rob the Swash

The girl is pretty, but isn't Vogue about the fasion, not the model?
06/17/2003 02:11:48 AM
Nice image that could do without the midriff (back) and the legs, they take ones eye away from the main focus of the image. A beautiful image just the same.

Not a bad try, but the legs in the back are somewhat disturbing, and the picture has too little light on it overall, unfortunately. (4)

blurry-. the girl is very pretty.. maybe you can explore new possibilities, new poses, etc.
06/16/2003 01:36:39 PM
not enough light on her face, poor makeup.
06/16/2003 10:46:41 AM
No fingernail polish?

I think the cropping required for this shot to work as a magazine cover would really mess with your composition, not that a crop that was just her head would not look nice, but it would be totally different than what you have taken. I like the light on her face, but wish for a greater DOF for this shot to really pop. :)

The DOF works really well here. Beautiful model. -10

Beautiful model but the lighting seems a bit too dark for me. The shadows on her face dont do her skin tone justice.
06/15/2003 11:56:49 AM
Very nice model, and I love this shot. I have to comment on the orientation of the photo, however, because if this were cropped to be a magazine cover it would look different.

She is a beautiful modle and the photo is nicely executed but this isn't glamorous for Vogue.
06/14/2003 03:23:47 PM
Nice photo, perhaps a little fill flash to add some brigher catchlights?
06/14/2003 02:04:49 PM
Im a sucker for a pretty girl, and this gal's gorgeous. Lighting is a little dark on the face, and this style of shot doesnt seem too much like a Vogue cover. I would like to see the crop different so we can get more of her hair/head in the frame.
06/14/2003 12:09:34 PM
Nice compostion and use of DOF
06/14/2003 03:11:12 AM
The face should be the focal point here, but it is in a bit too much shade to draw the eye immediately to it. Maybe another light source or a reflector could have helped here. It also would have removed the shadow on the hand. Pretty model. 6

Very Intresting.
06/13/2003 12:34:03 PM
These types of magazine focus very much on the face, even if the body is shown. And the shots almost always involve more make-up and are usually over-exposed. I'm not saying that to make fun of the 'zines. That's just how those shots are taken. And even though those shots are technically not as good, that's what you should go for if you want to do a "Vogue" shot.

She looks squished. Maybe you need a tighter crop so it looks more intentional that you cut her hands and feet - or a looser crop so she can have some room. the image is lovely

good work. alittle more light on the model's face to make this perfect.
06/12/2003 07:45:54 PM
my, my, my....
06/12/2003 04:59:21 PM
This could use a little more light on the model's face.
06/12/2003 02:17:55 PM
A little too dark methinks. Her face should be what draws the eye first but it's not.

Excellent pose, lovely model. The lighting really makes her skin and hair look nice. Perhaps just a touch more bounced light on the right side of the frame where her face is, and a stronger catchlight in the eyes to really make this cover-worthy (but then, I'm comparing you to Annie Liebowitz... so don't take that as particularly harsh criticism!) Overall very good shot. 8

very nice image but i would have liked it better if it was verticle like a magazine is shaped.
06/12/2003 03:37:21 AM
nice composition and shot. model is also very beautifull and camera likes her. = 7
06/12/2003 01:28:07 AM
Take a portrait crop of this - just the face and hand and you would have a winner! The aspect ratio is wrong for a mgazine and the rest of the body is a distraction.

I would expect moe dramatic lighting on the face.
06/11/2003 02:04:46 PM
umm-- gorgoues,, 9
06/11/2003 12:16:59 PM
I really like the framing on this shot, although it's not one you usually see on the cover of a magazine. Pretty model. The lighting on her face is a little dark.

nice shot. nice girl. I just wish there was more light in her face. good job! 7 from me.

I give it a 9....could have had a 10 in portrait format !
06/10/2003 11:26:43 PM
The brightness of the midriff detracts from the face of the subject. I'd prefer a l;ittle more light either reflected into that lovely face, or by fill flash. The right side of her face fades into the shadow. Her left eye is almost lost.

Not sure about how you've cropped off the right of her hair and there's a bit of hair hanging down in the middle of her forehead annoyingly.

Pretty model. 8.
06/10/2003 10:32:21 PM
you just made me add "vogue" into my magazines-to-buy list. 7
06/10/2003 10:25:36 PM
good use of shallow dof (although, personally speaking, I'd like to see some shape in the buttocks). A minus is the exposure on the face - it's too dark. The lower back has the colour the face needs. A reflector board would have helped.

not cover material, but could be an inner ad

This should be in portrait not landcape. Don't like the cropping. But nice otherwise.
