Hey, thanks Derby! Intimate is what I'm going for. I wasn't setup for
the full high-key Hurley look though; next time. I do love Hurley's
work.
I agree with complaints about the fingers. The pose was dictating the
framing but I was set on tight, so I compromised. When I retry that I
will re-pose
Nice example of butterfly lighting. Love the big catch-lights in her eyes.
Nits to pick?
Although there isn't really a low shoulder, this strikes me as a
masculine head tilt. (At least I would say it is not a feminine one).
Hands are difficult. Normally if you break the wrist the
hands/fingers
In this particular pose I was setting up a classic triangle, head at
the apex. I tried posing her head tilted toward both sides and this
one created the best lines -- to my eye anyway.
Interestingly, Clay Blackmore suggests avoiding the feminine pose with
young girls (Sophie is just 16). I figure

Thanks, Rick.
The nails are green though. Download the 1600px version of that shot,
use the Photoshop eyedropper in the center of the largest nail (5x5
sampling) and I get this ...

FWIW, on my newly calibrated monitor they appear to be more green than blue.

Bruce,
You pulled out her blue nails just for this photo?
Man, you are a sadist! ;-)
But I guess, with the top of the head chopped off, that probably doesn't
hurt any more. ;-)
On a serious note, - let me clarify my comment (after reading your
response in the previous thread). -

Hmmm. According to Lightroom's crop overlay, her eyes lie well into
the upper third of this image. Would you like to see a screen grab?

Also, - just a thought for your wrinkle problem:
If you let it hang for a while, you may want to sprinkle some water from
a windex-type spray bottle. Or, better yet, try a wrinkle-releaser:
