I'm not sure what the triangle patch is on her left thigh, but it's not natural and should be removed.

The background is not best for me. But woman and miror is baeutiful. Composition is true for looking. I like the photo, Paddy.

A picture is worth a thousand words .....

Another very well executed manipulation of the image. Nice job.

Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

the hair of the model doe's something for me,is it glamor or is it a portrait,,only the photographer knows,i also the background not the best,this i also agree that the shadow on thigh has to go,this could be a great portrait for the young lady.

whats up old timer,you don,t rate photos

PADDY . . . ME DAHLIN' BHOY ! Having been a great admirer of your artistic efforts - as you know, I must ask . . . . . . . . . . . . What's going on here, then ?
A very pretty model in a rather wistful, but hardly flattering, pose set in a soft background but presenting us with a couple of large question-marks.
By the line on the outside of her thigh and the two different triangles on the inside we can only assume that the young lady was not quite naked. Having downloaded the picture and blown it up, my wife and I have studied it carefully but are still not able to decide what it is there that's spoiling the overall effect.
Experiment ? Yes, of course, by all means - but it's not like you to leave strange little flaws to spoil an overall effect. Waiting expectantly to . . . . . . . . . . . E N J O Y !

having just had a little tutorial on photoshop by a friend who was putting four photos togather into one i am just beginning to see how far that you can take photography. i couldn't get enough of looking at his manual to see what incredible goodies are possible.

this is wonderfully done and i see no flaws but an incredible effort. i love to see experiments and love to play around as much as i can figure out to do with my own stuff so i'm in total AWE when i see totally awesome shots like this. keep up the great work!!!!!
