Looks like it was a touch cool to me Dan, oh you meant the tones :D , On my calibrated monitors it looks great, eyes look prefeclty white, and has just enough contrast.

Cheers

Variations in skin tones, I think its perfect. My only problem is the harsh light shadow underneath her chin.

But overall I enjoy your posts

yes you got it

skin tones nice bronze not too orange or red and the complimenting colours of the silver swimsuit suit her and the muted colours in the background

in terms of lighting though theres a uneveness of tone on the face(very bright compared to the rest of her body could be intentional or the light is just too close to her face

I really like the things...

umm, to be more specific, the shot is great. If I look past the beautiful model, your lighting and skin tones are bronze like, soft but contrasty. I like the framing, and pose with the right arm out.

I like the lines of the horizon, and arms...

overall, a very pleasing shot, beautiful!
