You look amazing in this shot, the arms, the hand, it's all beautifully composed. I do have a slight critique; between this shot and this one i like the skin tones better in the latter. This shot just seems a bit cool.

I agree with you...thanks for the critique. I was just messing around with different ways of processing my photos...and I just thought this one would be different...I'll try another version later.
