Two things bother me. I don't like that her hand and toes closest to the camera are burned out and lack detail. Also, compositionally, it needs more negative space on the left for balance. Other than that, I like the pose and idea. Hard to find models that flexible. I find the best models are gymnasts and modern dancers, both of whom have to be really limber.
I agree about the lack of detail in those areas. The problem is in the scan. It's just is a horrible scan. The sad part is, even though I have a much better scanner now, the original negative was damaged by mold/fungus/whatever. It would take me ages to retouch all the spots and "spider webs" that are now on that negative. It would be terrific if I could find another model with her abilities. I'd really like to reshoot this sometime.
take care, Glen
