Oef, that must give a painful foot! Beautiful colouring, nicely clear, and a good idea leaving the laughing mouth in the photograph.
Joop!

Hi mate

I always admire your use of light and your delivery of colours. Many of your shots are inspiration to me.

One thing that doesn't sit well with me though is the framing of your shots - often very tight and, in cases like this one, excluding elements that should be kept in.

Here, for example, I would like to have seen her face, and the arms supporting her upper body, because to me the photo feels incomplete and unsatisfying; I cannot admire her beauty or figure because I am too concerned with trying to "fill in the blanks."

If we decide that this shot is about her legs only, then I would suggest a different crop and pose; have her hands holding the hem of her dress and bringing it further up her thighs, so that more of her legs are revealed; and perhaps cut out any glimpse at all of her face.

Just my thoughts, keep shooting, I enjoy what you do!

I think had you taken this shot from a lower POV (placing her on a spring board) and included her face, even with her face been out of focus with the legs as the focal point it would have been a much more provocative shot.

I have to agree with Rew's critique here and because we know Theary from before I could fill in the blanks-but this does still look better with her face in the frame. Nice idea though and hope to see more...

cheers,

Dilshan
