Too much black.

I like the warmth and the contrast but I think the contrast could be a little less. Just a little. I think the SOOC shot is fine, technically, but it's not interesting. Fashion portraits aren't usually as interesting when they are flat, normal colour. They need colour grading to really make them pop and you've done a good job.

I agree with the other about the arms being chopped out of frame. Something to keep in mind for the future

I would like to see more got websites, flickr, etc?

I can see the fold on my monitor in the edited version I like it, I don't know if you did the editing in layers but you could mask some and get them to show more.

Great look all around! I would really only bring out the drape around her upper torso, not so much on the lower part because the silouette looks cleaner that way (just my thought). I think the glass block background also matches the more modern cut of the dress too, good pairing.

Nice to see another MN photographer - Stillwater has such great architecture!

Its nice to see a model that looks natural. I've seen some pictures (even in magazines lately) and they look like they're worried about being yelled at, or fed, or something. She looks happy, and healthy to boot. I like that.

I do agree the arms lead my eyes out of the photograph and are a little distracting but to be honest, I didn't notice it until I read one of the earlier comments. I guess that's my amatuer showing
