Ok, I like the composition, with the rails in the back. The use of DOF is very good, leaving the background very out of focus, but just enough in focus still to recognise what it is, and to have some compositional effect. Overal the image seems a bit soft on the focus, perhaps a scanning problem? Lighting-wise I would prefer the use of some flash, just to get some catchlights in her eyes (I love catchlights). For the rest, the lighting seems very good. The colors are a bit pale, could use some more saturation, to make her stand out a bit more against the background colorwise. Also her hair and lips would benefit greatly from a bit more saturated colors I think. As for the pose and expression: her arms together with her facial expression may give a slight impression that the model is bored. Also her hands are cropped off, which enhances this effect. However, this simply creates another atmosphere, another feel, which is very good if that is what you were trying to achieve. This also goes for the colors.
Anyway, don't worry, the picture is very good, and I like it alot, just giving some ideas that you may think of as useful.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an extensive review!!! Most of the time people comment on the beauty of the model, but I am more interested in knowing if the photograph works. Thank you again.

No Problem, but the model is beautiful too ;-)

Evan~,
I agree with Bjorn to a point...I can't help but compare this image of your series with Amelia to the 14th. I think the 14 is better than this one. As much because of the composition. 14 is slightly off center, her head is backed by a darker background which helps to set off her fair complexion. For my taste, the convergence of her head with the tracks is too structured and as such a distraction. This photo just seems a bit flat and uninteresting (in comparison). Bjorn suggests a flash, but if not a flash, then at least a bounce would help. The extra light would "feature" your subject instead of blend with the ambient light.

If i may comment here, your best photo of this model is either 11 or 13. I like the color of 13 a lot. The selective focus is wonderful as well. #11 is also intriguing but overall less interesting.

Your model is VERY attractive. i think it would be difficult not to shoot her in full saturated color all the time. i think her red hair and complexion would be interesting in an all white or black studio setting. Great contrast potential there.

Contrary to your previous picture (the one I commented on a minute or two ago) this is flat. Doesn't do much to me, even though the naughtiness of your model shines through

I like subdued colors and beautiful model
