All my criticisms of this are styling based <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="LOL" /> because we know you're an awesome photographer. It's well lit, nicely framed, the model is doing her stuff well (and how cute is her expression!?) and while I'm not sure about the beige corset on a white background, I guess for fashion photography that's sometimes most appropriate. It certainly enhances how delicate the ruching is because the edges aren't quite as defined as they would be on a darker background.

However the shoes and parasol completely ruin it for me. The shoes are really modern and bold, and next to the delicate, antique fabrics and colours of the corset they just look ... wrong. I can see you've tried to match them with a black parasol to tie them in, but the black totally ruins what could be a great hi-key image, with all those creams and pale blues on white.

I think the parasol could work if there was some black in the corset, or even if she was wearing black jewellery or a brooch or something. But because the black tops and tails her, it stands out rather too much.

I think this is an excellent excuse to buy props <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title="Bucktooth" />
