Ditto with the other critiques - the softness of this image portrays an innocence. And the slanting body in relation to the frame makes the picture worth looking more than once.

The non-eye contact also adds a mystery to the image - deep in thought or looking at someone?

Not too sure about the warm light - could have done without it to make the skin tone stand out more in the picture - but it's just my preference and shouldn't take away anything from the overall image.

Lastly the position of the head fits in perfectly with the rule of thirds. Wonderful image!

One of my favorite things is spontaneity in imagery, and this image is filled with that sensation. While it is an unusual pose, the pose itself is the main attraction. The model's body language is relaxed, and her gaze is totally 'in the moment between shots.'

The soft treatment and lighting add to the purity of the moment - it is neither sexual nor pretentious; rather, it is a moment of reality where reality is usually a stranger.

I think, too, that the warmth of the tungsten light in the upper left corner tends to work in concert with the focal point rather than distract from it.

The composition lends itself well to the message the image relates. If I had one suggestion, it would be to widen the perspective to the right and tighten it ever so slightly from the left so as to not cut off the knee and present a bit more of the set on the right side.

Kudos!
