Yes... the skin tone is great, and the gesture. Nicely done Katie. Will make a beautiful print.

I think they work, as images and especially as more artful B&W images. The light is soft and subtle.

Whew! Thanks! Those are the EXACT things I was going for ... soft light, nice skin tones and these poses I was thinking "fine are print". Hence the no face - so it could be "any" girl.

I appreciate your input.

I do, of course, have lots of others with her face showing and more body parts.

The top 3/4's works great for me. The bottom - with the frame cutting through her hand, the smidge of underwear, the edge of her navel - doesn't work as well. When you print it (you ARE going to print it, I hope?) you might want to try cropping it.

I agree with Sly - compose a little looser then crop if you need to get rid of dead space. I'd love to see it cropped in TIGHT (above the bottom of the bra, with the swinging hair ends just inside the frame edge, so it becomes all about her (e)motion. Maybe crop it in even tighter so the bottom of the necklace is out of the frame too. I'll send you some examples in PM...

I like it but would prefer to have the hands also on it, then it would be even better!

Cheers Armin

THANKS!!!!!!! Such fantastic ideas! I am for sure going to print these ... just waiting for my darkroom to un-freeze.

It's a lovely shot, but I agree with the others about the crop. I once took a drawing class in artistic anatomy. The teacher said it seldom works to crop at the waste. Also, not at the wrists, elbows, ankles, and knees. Of course one could create good images that do not conform to those guidelines, but I thought it was very interesting advice and it has stayed with me when composing. But I want to repeat, it's a good shot and the air of spontaneity carries the day. Nice.
