I'm sure the subject helps in that one.

I'd say that she looks a bit awkward, if you see what I mean. Almost like she's about to fall of the ledge she's perched on whilst trying to stretch her tricep...

That was my first thought, she doesn't look very natural.

Good link with some very practical advice- people photography can be very difficult. I gues sone of the key things is to make sure the subject is comfortable and relaxed.

Bloody hard is people photography! Add to that the only way my other half would let me point a camera at her is if it had a lens cap on.

And even then she would think I was tricking her!
