Nice picture of you but you get lost in the picture.  Not sure if different lighting or just being a bit further from the window would help.  I'd probably use a larger aperture to leave the background out of focus a bit or blur the background a touch.
Also the photographer's signature really detracts.

Here's the picture:

In my printed book, it is the one that stops the turn of pages the longest.  Sometimes to an open-mouthed, stopped-in-mid-sentence effect.  Even more than this photo...
https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=14498
...which is only a few pages away in that same book but has the most views and comments on my profile here.

It has all the elements for a great image: The image shows the exceptional talents of the photographer and the two models, though it's not telling me a story that I can understand.
I think it's a really wonderful image, and I'll leave it at that.

I see why it one picture of the day.  It's an inspired shot.  Would centering it to the right more help?  That way the slope of the chain and the back of the female model would be leading into the picture rather than out of it.

Thanks, I choose them off center as you can tell they are swinging and in the moment. I do appreciate the feedback though smile Anything helps learn:)

I agree after seeing the rest of her port, I personally wouldn't have it up, not a good picture of you compared to the rest.

Great capture but add a gradient to your blur layer if you want the DOF effect to look natural.

Need more contrast and maybe a bit more sharpening.  That could be just the transfer to the web and not what the original looks like.

This is one of my favorite shots in my port. I know why I like it. I have a couple of images with less comments, but this one doesn't seem to get much attention:

Thanks for getting my pic up.  Now, on to yours.  After a full review of your MM port pics, I consider this my favorite in terms of subject matter and the expression of the model.  I love the lighting, the way it fits her (portraid) mood.

I've looked at your port before and like it.   This one though is one of my least favorite.  Interesting concept.  A couple of things come to mind.  The lower part of your dress needs to be tapered in.  Doesn't show and any of your figure and the greek-goddess-sculpture look needs that.  I'd go at least half way down your legs too.  Ideally you would do it with a toga type outfit.

This one is not very good but you can do the toga just with some cloth easily.

This is the least popular image in my portfolio. I think it's very different and sexy. I'm curious why it doesn't appeal to people as much as the other images seem to.

I think what bothers me about this one is that with the red light on you it has this aura of "red light district" which obviously is not something that matches your personality or who you are. obviously you aren't dressed to be in the red light district but that is the feel that the light gives me.

Without a doubt .. this one!

https://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a67/PWalberg/natalie01.jpg


It is on this page;

https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=17602

The reason?  Look how high she is jumping!  That is wet cement under Natalie, and she is a professional soccer player from Germany.  I asked her to jump, but I had no idea she would give it that much height!  After that, I was scared that she would land wrong and injure herself, so I said "we got it! I'd rather be safe than sorry!   BTW, ... it's a film shot.   

Anyone else want to try jumping for me?  I promise it wont be on wet cement!
