She came in to the studio and sat down while I set up the lights and loaded .... she sat just like she is at the left.  A striking pose but facing me directly ... so I spun her knee a bit to my right and changed my preconcieved plan of action on this sitting

Then, to ad compositional interest for a traditional triangle pose, I had her move her hands out to her knee and down to the bench ... It created a triangle, caused her to lean in a bit (making her appear more interested and engaged in the viewer of the photo) ... but I don't like her right hand on the stool ... it looks claw like :(

Go with their pose ... and abandon your plan if you see something that seems to work!
