I'm not sure I like the ear sticking out on this shot, I find it distracting but I'm always hiding ears, perhaps its just me. Retoned and thats about it. Softbox close above side right, background light side left.
Lovely pose & shot Jamie. The ear sticking out dosen't really bother the composition in my opinion, fact is showing more of the face & back is a good idea. Two things I would've done differently is straightening the back a little more upright so it dosen't appear to be hunchbacked & lifting the face above the knee slightly will compliment such a sensual pose. Overall beautiful shot & model
Very well done indeed! I REALLY appreciate the lighting notes. I'm like you, I normally cover the ear, the curves from the hair look better (just my 2cents) that way. In this case I think it could go either way.
I don't think you have anything to worry about the ear! The composition is very fluid. Great use of soft box. Tonation makes it warm. She's hiding something, though. . .
