It's a good shot, I like the pose and the lighting.

I would like to see a little more rim light to separate your model's hair from the background and just a touch more light on the right of her face.

Nice job!

very strong shot - lighting makes emphasises her power. nice.
agree with adding a bit of rimlight.

This, and that's it.

Nice work.

The only thing I see wrong with it is the red shirt is so saturated there is almost no detail left. Other than that, it's a great shot!

Thanks for all of the responses. I only have two lights so I guess I will try and add a strobe to the mix. I will add the data to the nest post sorry.

I did saturate the red heavily to contrast as much as possible with the black.

Did anybody notice her headband says unstoppable?

Thanks

i like the 1 light thing.. a rim would also be cool.... but if this is a "big" person its best to let the edges fall to shadow.. its much more flattering. and drops a few pounds of a person instantly.

one thing i dont like is the pose.
the ball is domaninat and the arm looks huge being so close to the camera.. i'd suggest putting the ball on the otherside.
you'll get a thinner arm, more "portrait" of the individual and the ball will feature as an extra, as opposed to the ball being a dominant feature.

overall i really like it..
the dramatic lighting is well done, and the mood and colour co-ordination is well chosen too.
well done on those points.

Ok. I take that back. I am on a different monitor, and it looks way better.
