This is so interesting! I can't decide if it is better as presented with the (bright) panel of nudes contrasting with the darker (but beautiful) tones of the figure or would it be better to concentrate on the figure?

Or maybe that's just an alternative picture!

It breaks so many rules with the two opposing centres of interest but I really really like it. You have obviously put a lot of work into this one!

I don't know what to think of this one. Somehow I would crop it a bit, because the girl is small in the image. Why did you ask here to take that position?

Alfred,

Thanks for the interesting feedback (as always). This was a collaboration with the model who is an experienced art model. We were shooting at another photographer's house and exploring the possibilities of the location. The pose was the model's choice, the composition was mine. I would have liked to square it up a bit more and suppose I could have done that in post. I liked the curves and angles the model made and how the pose shows her musculature. I liked the juxtaposition of the live model with the inanimate figures in the bas relief. I think there were stronger shots from that shoot, but most of them were nudes and I didn't want to post them here. More of the series is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/geeman39/sets/72157625030779459/show/ (you need to be a friend on flickr to see the entire series).

It would no problem posting here most of those pictures, because they are not of the explicit kind and the model itself is not penthouse type model with oversized attributes. It's very obvious that all of those shots are artistic and some of them are very, very nice. I think you would get some interesting feedback.
This model knows how to pose in front of a camera.

She is an amazing model! One of my favorite subjects that I have ever shot. She travels the US often and I would highly recommend her.
