>>3441774A lot better than the full body shot, still a bit cluttered with the foreground and hands. The hands have a very extensive effect and somehow I don't like them in here. I can't really describe what's it about. I would have liked a little more light in her right half of the face and a rim on the nose and the right cheek like it's already there at the chin. Her left jaw line seems a bit odd to me and you could have directed her to protrude the head in the direction of the camera and to take the head down a bit, protruding the head and set back her chin. I don't like the light reflex next to the eye at all!
>>3441688Phew! All in all it does appear forced and unfortunate. Same about the light just like already mentioned above. The hand in the front seems tense, massive, manly. The worst is her pose, which is in your responsibility to recognize and direct. The garment and her crouching hams her up. She should strike dynamic poses, torquing the body and angle the limbs in such a way that more body edges become visible.
