Working on Back

           As I posted earlier, I haven't had much opportunity to work on a figure's back.  As I was flipping through a Victoria's Secret catalog, I came across a picture of a model sitting on the beach.  Although the photograph flattened out the forms of the model, I thought it would be a good challenge to attempt to add depth to the her.  This is what I came up with:
            I think managed to add depth to the figure, but not so much with the foreground or the background.  Also, I hate the composition!  It seems very contrived.
           I haven't painted from a photograph in a while, so it was good to do it again.  I wont always have a model available to paint from.
