This is probably my favorite from this series, though I really love them, for the setup and props you have used, ahhh the fabric (is it fabric?) is just so desirable.
I adore this one for the framing, it gives a sense of depth that makes it feel grand even though it's a closed in shot. I like her expression, but perhaps one that looks directly at you can also be interesting.
By the way, I've noticed you shoot a lot at ISO400 and 800, try to go down to 200 unless you are going to convert to BW for the grains. Right now the processing with the digital noise doesn't really work that well with your photos, it sort of make the really beautiful images look not as good as what their full potential can truly be.
In the mean time, since you probably don't have much lighting equipments, I can suggest you try out NeatImage to remove noise, not too much, just a little. See if you like the quality, give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
I must say you're really successful with your sets, just with a little polishing, they'll be great.

Hey
about the fabric, well it isn't exactly fabric, it's a kind of sponge or foam used in the cushions or in the sits of the chair, inside, but this one is sold in layers very big, like 2 x1 meters, so I sew it toguether and then painted it with black stains. and black parts once the dressed was finished.
About the ISO speed heheheh well in this particular case, I shot at 800 because it was an exterior shot and it was getting dark and I didn't have any lights so it was kind of dark and I shot without tripod.
and in general I use high speeds because my pulse is not thaaat great so sometimes the shots' turn out a litle moved when shooting with an F.5 too long time to keep it still without tripod.
I will try the NeatImage, is it much better than Lightroom?
thank you so much

Oh realy???? It looks a lot thinner than those type of sponge thingy. Wonderful, you even did it yourself!!!
NeatImage is a software used to purely remove noise, Lightroom doesnt remove noise that much. Give it a shot.

this is also good, but I prefer the vertical format... plus the fabric here is not so elegant than in the other one.
even though the facial expression is maybe better on this.
hmm.
