OVERALL: A great image. A list of WHAT WORKS (for me) in the (unlikely) event that you haven't already seen it (and worked hard to put it there) in random order. Light and teasing touch of the metal. Fourfold repetition of the sofa arms and woman. Warm_body-cold_metal/warm_light(yellow)-cold_light(cyan). Rising column of warmth from the woman's heart. Sleek cleanliness of the lines (including her hair). The triangle of the mesh, her face, and the (yellow) light. Main sofa arm from right to left begins, is smooth, is wrinkled, goes upward and then the woman likewise. And, Photoshopped or not, the implication of the length of her left leg is enormous. Fabulous model and amazing jewelry. In my humble way I'd say two IMPROVEMENTS (though I have no idea *how*) would be to reduce the distraction of the brightness of the yellow column of light and not crop at her right elbow (though the current crop is excellent). VISION: 5. There are so many things in this that work. ORIGINALITY: 4. Always a cipher with an outstanding image like this. It's rich in originality and yet "a woman wearing nearly nothing while lying down" is not uncommon. TECHNIQUE: 5. Hard work (that shows) from a top photographer could hardly be less. IMPACT: 3.5. The *impact* is low because this is a quiet image. Its *effect* is superb. (A note about originality. I have, personally, seen, though rarely, a woman as sleek and appealing as your model. I have never seen, in person, with or without a shirt under it, a chain bodice like that.)
