Yes on my monitor on the lap they are a tiny bit over the top, but I think it can be saved in PS!
Still a very good pic!

I love the body pose and the use of the fabric but, if I may say, my eyes have a hard time settling on it - it feels like the picture is upside down, or that she is plastered to the overhead somehow - maybe one of the Harpies from Bram Stoker's Dracula. lol
 
Thank you for the comments so far. I played with the orientation before I originally posted, but it's clear that my choice is throwing people off. I've replaced it with the original framing (I shot from standing on a stool, high above her). Perhaps this is less unsettling. When I print it, I think I'll burn in her arm and maybe cheekbones a bit.
 
I actually like the softness with an underlying tension, maybe not the intention, but it works for me. As for the print, a little bright at the top, but you should be careful not to lose that feeling of light.
Still a great shot, well realized.
 
My favourite of you recent efforts. Has a certain painterly quality, maybe its the chiaroscuro lighting? Anyhow, I like it.
