Pool table that is.

Latin model, Casandra.

Love the model. Love the colors. Love the lighting.

What throws me off is the clutter of pool tables in the background. For me, a shallow DOF would have done the trick.

Interesting that you would mention that. Someone else on another website suggested putting more light on the background, which would make the pool tables stand out more. I kept it darker so that they wouldn't. Might go back into Photoshop to blur the background more that way. Wasn't able to do that with a f/3.5-5.6, 28-135mm lens.

I think ffppro and the other site are correct! I think a little more light on the background would be great, but also blur the detail a bit. You are trying to show the "pool hall" atmosphere but not detract from the model.

I hope that all made sense!
