Hmm. Something about this one is simply not working to my eye. The
perspective is off, it seems unbalanced to me, shot from too high
an eye level. The standing nude you posted is a much better
composition.
Hmmmm. Interesting comment. Being slightly over six feet tall I
do tend to shoot from the same angle I see the world from, which
may account for why the perspective looks perfectly natural to me.
Besides, I'm too old to crouch down when I shoot.
Your eyepoint is about an inch or two higher than mine, most likely
(I'm 6'). For this kind of photo, I would likely have worked either a
little closer in/crouched a bit or from a more waist-level perspective.
