Wow, 'soft glam'. THANKS!
I have always been irritated that the Glamour category on Usefilm implies nudity, when it never does for ME. As a result, I have to leave the selected category as 'fashion' and move on.
I appreciate all your feedback, Giulio.
Don't hesitate to tell me where you think I could improve shots. I am hungry for growth and improvement.

another just incredible shot!!!
i have to call you the "soft-glam" photographer...
Every one of your photo is so delicate, so well composed and not excessive in anyway....

Wonderful capture Paul and great composition, I am with your crop all the way.
I was about to suggest as long as this picture look very classic, why not having it in B&W!! till I read your comment about fashion, I still suggest B&W in case you considered an artistic picture and classical one. But would it bring more awards .. hmm I doubt :)
Very well done,
Regards,

Great shot Paul Congratulations! What makes the photo for me is the colour of the model in contrast to the grey surrounds and the candid feel about the shot. Cropping - there's merit, but often comes down to personal taste. Great work!

Great shot Paul! I often catch a lot of flak for leaving off-focus foreground objects in my photos, but I think it gives great depth to some images, as it does here.
Honestly, I feel a bit peeping Tom-ish!
Well done! :-D

You the man! You the man! Bravo bud. Amanda is beautiful and your capture is both poetically elegant and technically perfect. I especially like the contrast between the blurry framing and the soft focus on the subject, well done Paul.

There is something very appealing about this pose and photo. First, the dress, what a sexy, prim and proper look. She could definitely be a southern Belle in Atlanta. And then the blurred framing makes this almost voyeuristic in nature, like we are spying on her. And third, her look. Just makes you want to find out what has her PO'd, like some idiot stood her up.
Congrats on the FPD award, well deserved.

Congrats Paul! A lovely fashion pic you got here. The overall effect of the pic is great. Personally, I feel it would be better to place her left hand on her lap or on the arm rest instead of just hanging down.
Cheers

A classy bit of nonchalence. You must have been pretty up close with that lens, though it has the feel of a 200mm job. I'm not sure about the out of focus left side though.

Nice capture Paul. The colors, the position of the woman.. all is well seen. I probably would crop a little bit more the left part since it attracts to much the eyes in MHO.
Anyway this is a really nice work.
Congrats

OMG - YOU!!!! I just wrote a detailed critique and the image was GONE!! Replaced with this!!! Great minds think alike my friend! My FORMER comments were:
"Not a bad idea here Paul . . .
IMO . . . though . . . her foot behind the table leg and so close to the left side pillar might have been better placed. I also think there might be a tad too much negative space in the pillars . . . even though I like them. I would consider (if I were you) a more dynamic crop to accentuate your lovely model and lose some of the negative space. All-in-all though . . . a good shot which I (personally) feel could be even a bit better!!"
I still think the crop example I have might be better . . . though I like this one a lot and (Certainly) a lot more than the last image!!
Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~
