Now there is an interesting perspective, I quite like the angle and the outfit.

It is hard to say if I would prefer this view or to rotate the picture 180 degrees.

Thanks for sharing.

Charlie,
thanks for looking!
I normally don't like upside-down shots myself (this pattern has been shot ad nauseum), but in this case I think it's justified.
Cheers!

Happy picture and fun with good lighting! Kudos!

P.S. Just so you don't think you can sell it to Vogue today, watch the hands. They should be as carefully lit as her thighs. Think of them as the face. Only a small point for this wonderful image that becomes an issue if one competes in a real tough market place. Look at paintings and magazine images. Hands are not clasped tight with shadows but are graceful.

Asher,
thank you for the comments and words of wisdom! I agree about the hands.
To my defense, that was my last shoot with a very basic lighting setup. I simply didn't have enough versatility to do exactly what I wanted.
Now that I have 6 AC lights (and 2 more are coming and quite a few modifiers I think I will be able to do better light-sculpting-wise

Oh, I do like this! The pose never would have occurred to me.

Thanks!
Pose-wise: heels-over-head is farily typical for modeling world, especially for the pinup models. However, it's often done "just because" and in that case tends to look very cheesy.

Hello Asher,
Your insights are acute. I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot from you.
