Default Glamour Girl

Photographers Comments
This model is an ex Page 3 girl, who wanted some up-to-date photos for her portfolio, after a long time out of the business.

I wrapped her in an England Flag, to create this image, showing a bit of thigh.

After posting another image, I have decided that it was best to place a nudity warning on this photo, as the flag goes very far up the leg, showing a lot of flesh.

Serious crits...

The shape of the area near the buttock is unflattering IMO. The elbow being cropped off hit me straight away and the skin tones look a bit blotchy, almost dirty in the face.

I loved the smoker pic, but this one is not for me sorry.

Thumbs up

I really like the shape of her arms around her head, this could even be a separate shot in itself although it would have to have the hands in. The cropped elbow also hit me as being a minus. Have you done HDR on this? its got that feel to it.
I, also feel the shape of her leg by her posterior looks odd. def prefer this to the smoker...

Yes I have done some HDR on the photo. I wanted to achieve a grain in the sofa, and this was the easiest way at the time.

If I did this shot again, I would have used a different studio and model!!! I was working in a little space which was 5 x 3 which went into the main studio, which again was small!
