There are elements of your work that look very professional, there are elements that don't.

The light is excellent and the colours have just the right warmth for a FHM-style bikini spread.

But the framing, crop, and slightly-distracted expression of your model don't quite hit the mark in my humble expression.

You've cut her wrists, ankles, and shoulder with the edges of the frame and jammed her head into a corner - all as uncomfortable to view and it sounds!

Much of your work is an inspiration to me, but this one didn't quite make it. Love the light and colours though!!

I think Rew makes a good point here about not cutting off too many elements of the full body portrait type of portrait as it makes it look unnatural and incomplete. However, this pose is great in my humble opinion and the mouth half open look is erotic for a better word..

The dutch style tilt presents well here and would have worked better if you had taken the shot from a wider perspective and then tilted and cropped-in later. Hope this helps and let me tell you...cut or uncut...we get the picture! Happy shooting and hope to see less of "Theory" and more of her...TFS!

cheers,

Dilshan
