It's a studio shot of model Angelina. I've added an edge effect from the PhotoFrame Pro plug-in.
By ticking the new critique box in the upload menu I am now acknowledging that I am happy to accept constructive critique on this photo.

Postives Good picture, nice eye contact. Good color and tone. Like the models pose leaning fwd. Love the skin tone
Negatives, the lower part doesnt add anything to the photo. If your trying to add alure with the nude part it doesnt work for me at all.
As a normal photo, thumbs up, as a nude it misses the mark.

Your model is rather well know (re anon uploads) so 1 of 2 members would have uploaded this to me. So in view of that I showed this to Trev so this is his critique;
He loves the image and the frame and in his mind he would try to use the frame effect to fill in the dark areas to the top left area and to the right of the model.

Have done a mod on what I'd do.
I was just looking at the model and the colour of the dress and the frame didn't register for me (I was almost ignoring it). But when toned it all married up in a arty grungy type of way.
My opinion anyway. Hope it helps - if not then just ignore me

Other than a little dark in the right eye this is one damm fine photo, great model, wonderful pose and just luv the frame effect Pete.
Have a good weekend.

A very very good portrait image I like this one very much. The pose, the light, the model of course. All in all great.
Left half of pic superb..... right half a bit dark and cluttered, possibly the frame in that areas to blame.
Personally I don't find the pose at all flattering, leaning forward when naked seldom is. The right eye looks soft and the left too dark. There is a line running top to bottom in the background which looks like part of the backdrop, also that overlay seems a bit too much. All in all this looks like a last minute grab shot rather than a meaningful portrait, I'd put money on betting you have better than this.
I like the lighting set up with nice tones & textures in the red material.Would like to see more of the side of her face that is in darkness. For a beautiful model I find the pose a little on the aggressive side,I'm not keen on her fingers at the bottom of the image as they add nothing to the shot for me.The outer edge of the frame is a wee bit too much but I do like the mottled effects behind her.Nice eye contact,striking model.

Hi Ian, nothing is being hidden. This was taken in a studio at our ePHOTOzine offices. We shared the model and lighting, so will have similar results. While I was taking these shots from the higher rungs of some step ladders K was shooting low angle.
Simple question, by uploading on to EPZ are we not opening ourselves to constructive critique anyway? Surely that is what the site is about.
But, while you are adding new functions, how about an icon to flag up an issue, like a cry for help? (I know I need help!!!!)
This shot is wonderful and the presentation really suits it.

Firstly Wonderful shot. Secondly The right side maybe a tad too dark, and although I like the framing, it doesn't seem to echoe the inner pic. I think if you add a border that repeats the darkest portions of the portrait, the whole thing would work better.

wouldn't know how/where to critique this. Can't you post something bad ;o)
Find this really impressive.
not a fan of framing really, but this is different, a pleasing effect. The subject is nice too, love the sultry pose without being overtly graphic ( the less is more principle i think)
i do find the left of the face a little too dark for my taste, would have liked a bit more light there
overall great shot

I think I'll fly in the face of convention and suggest that you extend the frame across the whole picture - but less in strength than currently shown. Give the pic a texture
