This is such an interesting piece because I cannot tell if I like or dislike her pose. I love the realism that image expresses. The colors, the lighting, the barn, and the model. I can agree with the other 'critiquer', in which her pose almost looks awkward at first. Yet, in that moment of awkwardness, you also express a sense of realism that isn't expressed in professional photography. Humans are sloppy, and we shouldn't shy away from that. this photograph feels like a reminder of our humanity, that just because something looks awkward or sloppy at firs,t doesn't mean that it doesn't have a charm of its own.
If I would have to describe this image in one to two word, it would be "thought-provoking", and I would encourage others to take a moment and look at it again. It's one of those images that grows on you, and makes you see the world for how it truly is, rather than how others would like us to believe.
