Hello all -    I've been away from shooting with models for a while, having moved from an urban area to the mountains.  I've been shooting mostly wildlife and nature photography.  But I'm considering model photography again.   So I'm asking for thoughtful input -  I'd appreciate it if you would have a look at one (or more, if you wish) of my images and tell me how you would have imagined or approached the work differently than I did.  Not looking for nitpicky 'critique' or one-upsmanship (I'll just laugh at you and we wouldn't want that....)   thoughtful and reflective insight would be appreciated.  I'll gladly return the favor if you wish.  This is open to models and other creatives as well.....

You should dig deeper into this as a series. Combine it with hair and makeup, or body painting, or masks, props, collage or paint-over on the photo itself. Whatever you like, but I would revisit this.

Interesting viewpoint, thank you....     We were shooting in my old studio and the a/c was out.... I had a fan blowing on Heather and this particular image was serendipity....

Can't think of a single criticism or word of advice. Keep doing what you're doing. Don't bother to analyze it. Just do it.

GREAT portfolio!

Thank you for the kind compliment....      I am always trying to see ways to improve at what I do.   I'm not discouraged about my work - periodically I try to re-envision what I am doing and this usually leads to improvements....

The work looks good, but I think you could do a little less looking at camera, and try to get more of "a moment in time" in your work. You have done that to some extent, but perhaps a little more of that, would be beneficial. Otherwise, you are doing well.
