Okies. Looking good, but a few modest tweaks could help. Posing's my thing, so here goes (none of this is criticism, btw, merely observation):- * The gun hand is perfect. Spot on. Don't change it. * The rest of the pose is off balance. Draw an imaginary line through her hip and through her shoulders. She should be leaning against a wall or post or something at her left (the right of the picture as we look at it) in this pose, or the strain on her left leg would be most uncomfortable. Now, it may be that you've lowered one shoulder and raised the other, but the poncho and (as mentioned above) the lack of chest shadow hide this. From the top of her right hip, there's no visual clue about her stance until you get to the shoulders. * It's probably just me, but I find 'full face on' head poses, where the model is looking over my shoulder, most disconcerting. The model should be making eye contact with the viewer, looking in a more 'dynamic' pose (left, right, down, whatever), or (far more effective), she could have her head turned a little to the side and maybe up or down a few clicks. * Last one, or you'll hate me for ever. The curved edge of the saddlebag is hidden behind her left forearm, but the brain fills in the missing pieces. The curve will take it through her (hidden) biceps. Either that or her left upper arm is painfully thin. Everything is solved by getting the shoulder / hip angles right .. it'll also stop the saddlebag looking as if it's about to slip off her shoulder. All minor stuff to tweak, but the pose and the lighting are 90% (at least) of any great picture. Good luck!
