Sorry Marty but this image doesnt make it for me. The black outfit the model is wearing is getting lost in the background as is her hair. You need some hair light and some light to separate the model from the background. Unless your objective in this image is for her to disappear at both ends??? not sure.
I wont comment on the pose and prop...think you know how I feel about these types of images *smile*...Maggie
Thanks for the feedback Maggie. It actually was my objective to have her heavily shadowed into the background, but I appreciate your input. In spite of our personal taste differences. ;-)
