    Well if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a crooked picture! hahahaha – this is again, a quality shot from a wonderful photographer! Congrats.

    G’day Alf,

    I feel this is the star of the series so far.
    From go to whoa this photograph is a real winner.
    Great concept, great arrangement, great model, great set-up, great pose and expression are the basis for a good result.
    Great lighting, great exposure, great focus and great processing is the artist at work.

    My heartiest congratulations to you, Sarah and Kelly for a job very well done!

  • Carisma

    Some time ago, in a critique forum – they were exploring the pin-up picture concept – and what made it right and wrong; not having much experience in what would look good or not i was a little bit confused…........
    Now everything is soooo clear – this is what they were trying to explain and this is the perfect way to render it !!!!!!!

  • Alf Caruana replied

    I look at the old posters and they were quite simple, it was all about the model and very little about the environment. Most were airbrushed and the poses quite cheeky. Thankyou Carisma for your appreciation for my work
