I wasn't sure how I felt about this one. Maybe it is the stiffness of her arm on the left. maybe bent would have been better or possibly cropped outhttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fim3vhzb2i...t_2010+043.JPG

Poses are good. Except, she should have closed her legs a bit or positioned them at another angle more to the left.

The arm doesn't bother me. I do agree with Jim about her legs... although you cant see anything, it is not very flattering. I like the PP on the image. Just need a smile or two and you'll have a winner

I really like the tones and the expressions. I agree about the legs, and do think the arm is a little awkward. Maybe try to crop it out and see how it looks?

i concur with the leg comment and will add that the position of her hips hidden by his leg makes her look very small.

I think I'd try to crop it so that just the chests and up show. Then, you don't have to worry about the legs or the arm...

I agree with everyone about the leg comment. In the future as well, if you models point their toes it makes the legs seem longer and graceful.

I do not have a problem with the arm, however the thing that instantaneously took my eye away is the wooden bit on the left. It's too distracting.

Great capture of the couple and emotion. Great work!
