lets look at some simple prop usage such as the lolly pop. I find props no matter what they are, make a model more interesting in the sense that he/she has the ability to feel more comfortable with their arm & hand placements. A model without a prop usually takes far more guiding & less creativity comes naturally. I have a prop wardrobe where I have random clothing, bits and bobs just to make what would be otherwise boring shoots more interesting.
Keeping on the theme of props, a peace of silk like material can give weird light reflecting oddness which I don't particularly find appealing in the left image, but I do like that belt. This belt or something similar I must have & on the look for it as I have ideas about modifying it. Maybe have 2, one natural & one fucked about with.
Its a perfect tool for making implied nude shoots more fun but indeed doesn't go with the PVC arm gloves she is wearing which makes a perfect example of what to avoid using with it. if them gloves where perhaps a satin or leather or the belt PVC, then the image would look better in my opinion but mixing the two materials looks clashy/lazy.
It also doesn't help that he has auto focused on her leaning back forehead area along with likely aperture around F8ish with a low ISO causing blur due to a low shutter speed.
I was nearly right, the camera data states F7 on a 24-70mm Lens at 51mm focal and 0.5 shutter. So maybe theculprit is also camera shake as that lens doesn't have IS but for a lens at that focal length camera shake is fairly minimal. Surly would have made more sense to have used F6 & upped the ISO/light to allow shutters of 1/30 or 40 instead of ISO100 0.5 as the file data says. I agree the light looks nice but once you make it bigger all off this slaps you in the face soon as your attention is dragged to the forehead..
