There was a tragedy with this shot. i had completed the shot 2 days ago. but before uploading on the final day i tried rendering it but due to corrupt file it could not happen so. hence i had to redo the shot again, but luckily i had my hand over it and knew the keys well.and i did it in 2-3 hrs under pressure.

balance pose

When posing a human body, it need to understand anatomy, the skeleton, and how they all tie together. Strong poses are one of the fundamental building blocks of animation. They're read well the instant they're viewed. If your poses are strong, the audience knows exactly what's happening and will understand your character's actions better. Also, a good pose is almost always balanced, giving your digital characters the distinct feeling of weight and life.pose clearly describes an attitude or emotion. You should be able to tell, from one static frame, whether the character is sad, happy, angry, shy, embarrassed, nervous, excited, or afraid.

important point to consider is the

weight of the character,
anatomy,

Symmetry/Asymmetry,
Balance
and Staging
