Nice idea, but I think you used a photo you just happen to take of your girlfriend on an outing. Put her in a bikini to emphasize the curves aspect or perhaps unzip the top entirely and take a close up of her breasts with the crossbars between them. 6

This is an unpleasant shot. Mainly because the model's boob is about to fall out. I'm not a prude but, honestly, this model's figure is not attractive enough to pull this off. You just want her to zip her top back up. She's too bony looking for the 'curves' your title suggests. Also, you should have made the shot at a moment when the wind wasn't blowing her hair in her face. The colors are rather drab and the model's pale skin practically blends into her surroundings.
The composition is good.

i think if the model were in something brighter/darker, she would stand out more and improve this shot. nice idea. also maybe crop a little off top.

talk about some curves!!!

Too much hair in the face... Hides the facial curves. The subject here is really the metal frame and the girl, yet my eyes are challenged by the background scenery as well. Needs to be composed more selectively.

Yeah, you could say lines but the curves is questionable :) The outfit really hides the curves and the wind blowing on her face is distracting. A much tighter crop, leaving just her and maybe lining up the poles, coming more from in front of the subject? Also the lighting is a bit harsh, maybe tone it down a bit in PS? A 3

Hey I like it, I am wondering if your really needed the entire sculpture, I would have found it more intesting with a closer crop of the girl, and a partial of the sculpture. But a nice shot and idea.

Nice idea, I can imagine this shot working but its needs a little more conviction....did you bottle out?. My guess is that this isnt what you had imagined either! As it stands it just doesnt really do the job.

Nice shot, but I'm not feeling the "opposites" though.

The picture seems a little flat to me. I'd like to see the model looking at the camera. Nice blue sky.

Sorry but that looks more like a snap shot. Maybe you could have picked a person with a bit more curves.

This had more of a snapshotty feel to it, in my opinion. I think perhaps the cleavage shot didn't work quite the way you wanted it to... the idea was good, but I think this would have been much stronger if she'd been wearing a formfitting dark (or white) outfit, been leaning against the pole to show a body profile (curves and lines). I think perhaps this might have looked a bit less like a snapshot had you done B&W.

Still, it was a good idea, and you had a lovely model. :)

Feels like a roadside snap, dull and uninspiring.
