Well I have never posted a photo at this forum before so here is my first one.
Any C&C input is welcome

Hair looks great! I think the picture is well done, nice lighting and the bkg is nice.

What have you been waiting for? This is a very nice shot!

Very good work. I assume that your focus is on the hair, but I'd love to see her eye a bit lighter.

Nice!
Post more.
Not sure if you did anything to her right arm in post but the edge of her arm looks a little uneven (bumpy)....almost like a quick liquify job.
The inner edge of the arm looks a little funny. Starting from the middle and going toward her arm pit, the top two inches curves off to the left (her right). To me, that portion looks like it needs to bumbed over to her left.

Awesome photo!

Perfect just as it is and she is a hot package. Love to see more.

NIce all around. PP is right on the edge for the skin. Beautiful work

WOW very hot I like it

Great work! The lighting is really nice and the hair is definitely an attention grabber. I agree with 05titan that there are some issues with Liquify. Probably could be fixed by using a larger brush size if your tightening up certain areas.

I'd have to see the original to offer more constructive thoughts on your Post Processing. The image is great, but the pose feels really awkward to me. I'd rather her stretch her arm more across, letting the arm cover her nipples to try to defeat the weird way the arm is laying...or perhaps just let her hair do it, but that might mean changing the angle you are shooting at.

But, honestly great shot, and I hope you continue posting your work here.

Thanks for the feed back I will try and post some more.

Very Nice, I like it.
Though it seems like she is slightly tilted?

Great first post.

Hair looks very nice along with your lighting. Might want to throw a NSFW tag on there just in case

Not a critique but an observation:
The main light, placed quite high in this shot, gives a slight shadow to the eyes and produces a considerable nose and chin shadow. It also diminishes the catchlight. OTOH, your title suggest that the hair is the subject, and your choice of lighting resulted in the hair being the primary interest and the eyes secondary.

As far as composition goes, I wonder if more of the arm should be included. That would also move the partially covered breasts up higher in the frame.

transformers eyes

Nice shot, but the "negative" framing space on the sides would be better used to put more space above the head and under the arm. The round curve of the head hitting the straight line of the top and the tight crop of the hand and hair at the bottom give it a cramped look that is out of context with the sensuous curves of the hair. There's a reason its called "portrait" mode.

For the eye its not so much that its dark, which fits the overall moody context of the shot, but rather the lack of a good catchlight that makes it look a bit dull and lifeless.

I have to say I feel the skin pp is overdone on this one.

I like the way the model is lit, but I think less vignetting would have done a lot for the image.

Really good.

Nice. I like it.

Well, for a contrary view, I like the eyes. Overall, the lighting and expression create the energy for me. A little mysterious, definitely 'hot', lots of sensual energy. I expect a more open, direct pose or lighting would render this image really boring and familiar.

Well done. Yeah the "more light in the eyes" argument is old hat on this forum.

Except I can't help but be distracted by the banding on the bg. Not sure if it's a resize or jpeg issue or what...
