Good job.  like it.

The criticism first.  The white whatever it was the the model is lying on, a bit too small.  As a result, her arm/elbow has to dangle over the edge, causing lots of strain on her opposite shoulder, and since weight is all resting on the opposite arm, the muscle becomes too pumped up.  If you look a the back, her knees are dangling over also.

The white whatever it was is also a bit too over powering.

The hand hiding behind the hair looked a bit awkward, chopped off.

I love the lighting and the overall feel of the image.  The red pumps is a very nice touch, adding a bit of color/attitude to the image. 

Very sensual and yet, wholesome.  Well done.

Thanks for all the comments ...

1) I agree that the cushion she was on is very bright and because of the proximity to the light source it becomes very glaring. But we wanted something with a little contast to the black backdrop. If we had cover it with a black cloth it would just blend into the background or be slightly lost into the black. Of course it could be a more blended clour ... I do agree with that ....

2) Her arm position seem the most natural and she was genuinely relaxed in that pose ... so I just left it that way ... It would look aesthetically better if she was not pressed down so hard that way.

3) Hmmm ... arm lost behind the hair ... does seem cut off. Again I thot it was just very relaxed pose ... and she look most pretty in that pose ...

Frankly I took a lot of pictures and a few different sets ... but I think this was one of the best that brought out the more beautiful side of the model.

More comments are welcome .... and I will post another GWC shot tonight ....

I think a wite rug, preferrably a lamb skin rug or something similar will be very nice.

I was referring to the bulging muscle of the model's left arm, especially around the elbow area.  This maybe the most comfortable position for the model, but well, posing for a photoshoot itself is a an act.  The most natural and at ease pose is often an unnatural act itself.

Either way, love this image.

If any GWC can get this image, then he is no longer a GWC
