Rel there is much to like about this image gorgeous woman , the use of high key lighting is compelling, the B&W treatment and in general the composition. I do feel, however, an awkwardness in the image from a viewers standpoint, certainly mine, that centres on the pose.

Whilst i like the general perspective i would like to see just a little more(and i'm talking only a little) of the eyes, and i do appreciate the sense of mystery you were striving to achieve, and i think you have achieved this. However, my own eyes keep getting drawn downward toward 'puppy land' not that i mind in the least as there is much to like about that area of the image(however this may have to do with a gender or 'member of the other team' bias).

I think more experimentation with your right arm placement will yield great dividends certainly will from my perspective if i get to see more of you sorry i meant more of your artistic portraits

I don't know if this makes any sense? Jokes aside I like your image and the concept (Mystery and sensuality) Rel.
Oh, I like it when you're bored
cheers

 LOL - it's ok Marco - it's pretty crappy ( I know that ) but part of being in the forum is posting stuff that isn't great and learning from itLOL. I had been working on a report for hours, and was bored s**tless, so played for 1/2 hour I had the camera on a tripod, would prefocus (well, guess), hit the shutter on timer, bolt to the chair and 'play' You all know that I take pretty shocking 'people' photos - now if I had of been a frog, well, the photo would have been fabulous

Thank you for your critique , and glad you liked the puppies
and man, do I love photoshop

I like it very much.

I agree with Marco's comments that the image is cropped too close to the eyes, and this is probably as a result of having to set the timer and then construct the pose.

I see a large canvas print hanging on the bedroom wall. (Yours, I mean )

Although the bottom part of this image is ‘messy’, and I don’t mean the ‘puppies’, the top of the photo of your face, is superb.
