I'm not personally getting a rush from this one, but maybe I would in the natural color. It looks very well done, and it is most likely just me, but I keep wanting to see the color version.....
Best Regards!

Hi lawjbm,

I really like the image and how you illuminated your model - soft but still with some shadows. I pretty much like light skin tone. I am not sure if I miss the second arm, but... well... Is there a version with both full arms?

In difference to Rupert I prefer this b&w-version towards the colored one (Is this correct English? Guess not. ). Reminds me to an painting from Max Klinger.



With her heroic aspect, with the elegant and well shaped, balanced proportions of her face and - as I can assume her body - you simply got an very interesting model with classical qualities!

I as well like the other pictures of her! Good work.

I may not like the color...I'd just like to see it! LOL! It is still a good shot in the B/W but just seems to call out for natural skintones.....Could be me, I hear other voices sometimes too......
Regards!

Sorry Rupert. That was a misunderstanding.

Hi:

Thanks so much for the comments. I appreciate the insight. Kelsey was great to work with and I hope to work with her again soon.

I tend to like b&w, or some desaturation and a bit of added contrast.

Thank you again.

Kelsey has done well here.
Quite a natural looking pose. She is engaging in this image.
To be perfect, the hair needs to be neater and the glance a touch more intense (because the half-covered left pupil is ever so slightly disconcerting).
Well done.
