A warm summer day in a field of flowers. Relaxing, nice.
That is what I think when i look at your artwork here. The photographer knows how to set a model in the right scenery, and the editing is really good.
On first glance, you wouldn't know there was some Photoshop for the retouch involved.

The blurring out of the background in comparison to her sharp features, supported by that wonderful dress and that relaxed pose make nice contrasts. This also involves her makeup, her clear lips and eyebrows in comparison to her curly, red hair /wig, which on the one side is a big contrast but on the other hand very similar due to it's color. This makes a well rounded view. I really love these opposites which are very similar the same time.

The lightning on this picture works wonderful with the bright background, and makes her features even clearer. Everything seems to work perfectly together.

But there's something bothering me:
Her facial expression doesn't fit the picture at all. While the picture gives me a nice, warm feeling, a feeling of being relaxed even, her face says: "I'm really bored here.", "I don't want to be here" or even "I am a model. I cannot smile. I need to look like this."
It's just a lifeless expression on her face. That is something I would work on.

Also, the light on her skin seems kind of... orange? And the way the shadows fall show me that there SHOULD be a sunset when the picture is taken. The lighting is from the side, not from above. Yet, the flowers in the background seem like they were photographed when it was noon (the light seems to come from right above, very white).
... but maybe this is only my Laptop and the light is showing off strangely. I apologize if so!

Overall though, this picture is amazing, and you should keep your good work up!

As with 'FIERCE', i think everything looks just great about this presentation too. The dynamic and vivid Coral Red colour hair is the real eye grabber here and, is just so perfectly complimentary of the dress. Personally, i think the pose is extremely relaxed looking in this feigned, 'Woe is me stance' :). Even the skin has been given that perfect not white, as with most redheads (though i believe this is tinted hair with an added hairpiece), and not fake orange looking instant model tan either :rofl:. Either one of the 2 pix from this shoot session would be a portfolio must. The pre print retouching is beautifully done with a very classy, dreamy D.o.F.; drawing your focus straight to the girl thus making the emphasis clearly on the model and, therefore the product being advertised/launched etc.
Once again i :heart: it and the only negative for me was the photo was too small. This would have looked fantastic on my big screen monitor :D. Its the first time i have seen anything from you but i shall keep an eye out with gusto from now on.
Respectfully yours. Carlos aka CSuk_1T ;)

Personally I find this photo, and it's sisters, ruined by the large gap in her implants. It is very distracting and makes my, and a few others I know, focal point go straight to it. We actually have to look around the photo to see it as a whole, but I also agree with another comment about the facial expression being to stern for the scene here. In fact, I'm not exactly sure that this dress, hair, makeup... I'm not sure if this 'character' is fit for a grassland, sunny background. I'm just not seeing much fitting with the theme.

Sorry to be so negative, but these are just my opinions.

The makeup and the hair, combined with that light; are just awesome!

The only problem I have would be the facial expression, it seems too harsh for the scenery. A more vulnerable expression would've made this picture POP! But, besides that, I loooove it!

Your name is perfect. Whenever I see a new picture of you, I go back and look at all my favorites and Overdose on your modeling. Cheesy, but it's true. You keep inspiring me to model and get my artwork out there somehow!

This picture, by the way, is stunning. :)
