A very pleasing image ... Nice job with the lighting set up.
I thought it would be top ten

Can't deny that this is well executed with a pretty model and studio lighting, but the bits of tattoo are a serious distraction from the otherwise perfect skin. Either show it or stow it. Technically a 10 but flawed so a 7.

very nice composition, I see a tatto on the far arm, I would've loved that to be the one closer to the camera, just to adde some gangster feeling .. but it doesn't mean its a fault, still gets 10 from me :)

Would of been cool with a little front feel and to make the backlight more natural i.e. place the model on a roof top and have the sun behind her. Nice idea though but a little too staged for my taste.

p.s. The light is where my eyes go to straight away and I'm sure that was not your intention seeing as her upper body is more interesting.

p.p.s some subtle dodging and burning on that silk dress would of great.

Seems like a weird subject for this challenge although you have used backlighting well.

This is an interesting shot. To be honest the pose drives me nuts simply because it is not a stable shooting stance but then I think a proper stance wouldn't lead to as interesting of an image. The backlighting is very apparent and yet not over done. Even more interesting it looks as though a shot was fired since the slide is not quite all the way forward... I've got to give this one a 9 and hope to see a ribbon on it... just too interesting an image to let die off.

Cool photo. Should have had her aim the gun a little higher that way it looks like she is actually aiming it.
