I really like her expression and the way her visible shoulder is sitting, but her left arm and her hair turns me off. I get a bit of a wookie feeling because I can't see her arm and her hair is covering the curvature of her left breast enough so that seeing her right breast is a very stark contrast.

Obviously your exposure etc is perfect from what I can see so I'm just nit-picking. And hey, I've never taken any nudes so I'm really no authority on the matter

lmao ... the first one is the hardest... especially when they stand up next to you to peer into your camera.. as a married man it's kind of important to still maintain a sense of personal space

but yeh mostly you're pretty much engrossed in the process of the shoot and don't really have time to worry much about it ..

model link brings up trojan warning by kaspersky, think a ad on there is the culprit.

You sir made me laugh with your wookie comment! I have to echo though - the raised arm is a bit out there....the natural position for the left arm, given the pose, should be hidden behind the body. So my first thought was "wtf is wrong with her hair". But thats coming from a guy who struggles to take photos of his kids on a good day.

You sir made me laugh harder....I can't ever imagine getting desensitized to bewbs, let alone telling a chick to fix herself up.

Dropbear, did this come from teh same shoot as the forest nymph set you posted a few weeks ago?

yeh it's a re-visit and a re-edit from that shoot..

and yer, xploit is quite correct.. you really don't even notice the nudity on set. If you have a decent raport with the model then you can just tell them what you're after - ie hey you're hiding your boob with your arm there - whatever ..

My wife asked me the other night "so what do you say to them when you want them to undress", and my comment back was "you don't have to ask the good ones" if it's a pre-arranged nude shoot then it should be no biggy and doesn't have to be awkward.

I'm no expert, but I think if the model had her left arm raised up behind the tree that would give her left breast a nicer, rounded, perked up look rather than a slightly saggy look. If you get what I mean. My first though was she should lift her left should up to get the said effect but I think the lifted shoulder would look too unnatural.

Well done though.

Don't like this as much as the others.

TBH I don't know where to look. If you wanted your viewers to look at the breast (all jokes aside) then it probably would have paid to have it nearer a ROT anchor point.
If you wanted the emphasis to be on her face/expression, then I think you'd need to do a bit of spot exposure bumping to get it at least as bright as her breast.

At the moment my eyes are naturally drawn just to the right of her armpit, as it is near a ROT intersection point and also the brightest part of her body...

You need to work on posing the model more and expression, even without workin on adding in some lighting that could drastically improve the shots I reckon.

Though its not easy.

its very easy, you just become aclimatised when holding a camera.
