It’s just that there’s nothing attractive about that photo. That swimsuit looks terrible on her! She might look attractive with something better suited to her shape and size.
Like an A-Frame?
I think you hit the nail on the head.
1. Pretty woman but not really magazine cover-worthy.
2. Ugly swimsuit - would not look good on anyone.
3. Boring/dull photograph composition.
It all adds up to one big “meh.”
Are there any Slim Aarons/Francesco Scavullo/Richard Avedon level photographers and good stylists left in the world?
