Thanks heaps again to my wife for being patient whilst I fiddle with my toys! Love ya babe!

I didn't do much to this at all. I used a single strobe with a honeycomb snoot on it to act more as a spotlight than anything else.

Converted from RAW and tweaked the white balance a tad
Slight adjustment on brightness & contrast in PS

I like the shape of the pose - might have liked just a bit more light on her legs and feet.

Nicely done portrait that's not just a low-key face, and in color even.

why nude?

I love it, but would personally prefer without the border. My eye flows down her legs into the darkness, to be abruptly stopped by colour again. The glint off her rings are a bit distracting, but that's a total nitpick.

Nice low-key lighting. Well done. Good skin tones and pose. Not sure how I feel about the crop though, feels a bit cramped to me. Also, I would have liked to see a little bit more light on the face.

Beautiful skin tones.

One curiosity. If she's alone, why is there a massive diamond on her ring finger?
