 This is our model Dewi. Quite fun Today during shoot as we need to talk in English. I'm practicing my conversation skills during shoot and I believe this is important in photo shoot so that model and photographer are working together with one objective. Model shoot doesn't work one way.

- shoot with reflector in left side.

Greetings from the Critique Club:

Let me start by saying that I am a fan of model shots - I do a few myself; I quite enjoyed the image and gave it a 6 in voting. I can remember looking at it and being able to appreciate the time and trouble you had gone to. Although the overall composition obeys geometric convention, I do think you have relegated your model somewhat, placing the stone cross central to the viewer's eye and brain. Furthermore when our eyes do come to rest on the model, she is further eclipsed by the dress (and wings) because of the huge difference in luminosity. If I crop the image with my hand, losing most of the cross and putting your image into a landscape aspect ratio, with the model large in the frame, the image lifts instantly. She is your subject here, you should treat her as such.

Skills-wise, sure perhaps there is a little bit too much smoothing or noise reduction and her hair is lost into the background, but there is promise in the image - I'd love to have a play about with the RAW to see what alternatives look like - the fact that the image interests me enough to want to do that is a good thing.

Best regards

Paul

That Wladimir's a lucky guy. But his timing's bad.

Too fake

I wish she wasn't looking directly into the camera. A little too posed for me. Good effort though.

the white halo around the leg is distracting
