I wish I had seen the milk ad. Our milk ads are nothing like this. The lighting, exposure, focus all look fine to me. I'm not sure about the leg, looks out of place, and the man's arm doesn't have the smooth texture of the rest of the shot (I'm sure it is a very nice arm, but it looks out of place)

OK, I'll be brave and do the * thing. I would prefer not to see her leg...it takes the pic from being sexy and erotic to suggestive. Also there is a shadow along his arm that at first glance, makes his arm look un-naturally thin. Having said that though...this is a shot that I doubt I could do, and you have managed it very well.

Thanks alot for the comments guys. I was unsure about the meaning of the * symbol, but now thats been cleared up, and I'm glad I got some comments anyhow. I am wondering if anyone has some further detailed suggestions regarding further improvement of the shot (composition, lighting, exposure, etc.)
Thanks

Very nice riff on the "got milk?" ads. There is not only a subtle humor, but more than a little truth to the message.

Whoa there! I thought I checked my spelling. Thanks Iso, I guess the positive aspect is that people are at least viewing the image and reading the text :)

Firstly - nice sattire. Even though I'm UK, I know the Got Milk? ads.

Take away the text though and you're left with a great picture. Well acted - doesn't look forced. The off centre comp is pleasing to the eye and adds a little mystery by only seeing half of you. As always, your black and white treatment is very good. Just wished you entered more often.

I presume there were plenty of takes to get this just right :-)
