interesting criticisms (about the overdone makeup). keep in mind that "pinup" is as much a genre as (for example) film noir - and i hope you wouldn't criticize film noir as being "too dark" since, by definition, that's what it's supposed to be.
similarly, pinup photography follows a variety of conventions regarding lighting, posing, makeup, and hair. i suppose it's all personal preference, but the genre has always appealed to me - beginning first (for me) with the work of peter gowland and moving forward to today. pinupfiles is just carrying-on a decades-old tradition.
to that end, i find that to be one of the most appealing photographs of maria (yeah, what WILL her name be this time? lol) that i've seen.
