Very pretty Marty. Good exposure, nice composition. You might try tweeking the color saturation of her body so there's not too much contrast with her facial makeup.

Very creative, colourful and detailed. Love how the colour of the roses match her lipstick...
One thing... you've called it Pedals... like on a bike... did you mean Petals? *grin*

I know very little about studio lights, but I think you've done very well here. Once thing that stands out is that the make-up although it has been applied very well, it does however show a different tone to the rest of the body. I would be trying to match the makeup to the rest of the body. Very nice photo by the way!

Very sensual photo, well lit- but it is ruined by those clunky barges on her feet! This would have been much, much better in bare feet.

You are going to wear out your model or your lens with shots like this, Marty.

The shot's great. The boats don't bother me--maybe a couple inches further away from her butt. I like the clever petal by the ear balancing the petal by the shoe. A subtle touch, like a signature, that we do for ourselves, realizing that most people won't appreciate.

It doesn't bother me that her face is partially covered by her arm--this is a personal touch--and I like it the way it is. Be aware that by throwing her shoulder that way you are exposing a lot of meat which has a tendancy of upstaging her face. I'm constantly dealing with this in the human form.

Shooting glamour like this I've often moved away from seamless to muslum--you can put padding, pillows, etc underneath to lift the head, etc. and shoot down. I've often used a step ladder to straddle the client where I can shoot down getting a head or head and upper body that is very flattering.

Your lighting is clean and fine.

Thank you all. I thought I had already responded to you on this one, but I don't see it.

Still working on the face to body color tone. I'll get it right eventually! ;)

Kim, thanks for the spelling notice.

William, can you suggest a muslim for me?
