I hope not...

No.

I really like the warmth on the first one.

The second I am not sure about the PP with the arms and especially legs, it seems a little too much. I do like the pose and PP other than that though.

I really like the last, the PP gives her a dreamy almost 'fantasy' type of feel and the pose is very engaging with the direct eye contact!

Great work!

The second and third are just excellent! The 3rd one is very romantic. Really WOW!
Great job!!!

Sue - first up, if I could only be 40 years younger I would find myself head over heals with this young lady

Now the business part - #2 and #3 are just stunning - great subject and great photography

Great work!

Its a hard balance to get such great contrast and not blow out the highlights, i think maybe the legs and arms are a little too stark but I love the crop (3rd) and the tone,

Do you think cropping the wall on the right (2nd photo) might make it feel a little more accessible/ inviting and not like she is closed in??

Still great PP

Thank you everyone... I didnt expect such good responses to tell you the truth... its kinda made my day...

She is an easy subject though.... and good to work with so i am sure that you will be seeing more of this young lady as time goes on...

and Robert...funny you should mention cropping that pic in like that as I have done exactly that and I am rather chuffed with how well it turned out...

Thanks again all... I always appreciate it when people take the time to comment - whether it be positivley or negatively.. after all I am here to learn...

and stuff..

Sue,

She is very pretty and I like all three images. While the background in the second one is harsh, I think it works well with the treatment you have done.

The third one is my favourite (even if it is a crop of the second) and your PP of it makes it very sensual. The only problem I have (and it isn't big) is the part of her leg that can be seen is chopped off. I can't suggest any way to fix it as you can't crop any more off as you'd lose the arm and you can't really add any more.

#2 is the standout for me, for the composition and awesomely gritty background. The bracelet is a nice touch too..

i really like the treatment you have given these, especially the B&W image as it really enhances it.

Thank you.... but that pic isnt a crop of the second.. its the full sized image without cropping and you have a good point about it... I nearly binned it as the composition just isnt right is it... but I liked the eye contact so much that I ended up playing with it ..

D'oh.

Now I look closer I can see subtle differences. She mustn't have moved much between the two shots (67 seconds apart

)

The 3rd one for me Sue, the positioning of the hand behind the hair looks much more natural than in the 2nd image and I like the toning effect.

Posted: **Mon Sep 03, 2007 7:21 pm**

Am I sick of seeing images of pretty girls?

Umm... not at all! Especially when they're done justice to with three great shots. I like the second best - the contrast of the smooth skin and beauty against the gritty and texturous (??) wall is excellent.

Sue, #3 is great portrait!

I think the duotone look suits the style. The only improvement I can see would be possibly bringing blue toning dominance in the highlights back a little.

Something like:

Either way, fantastic stuff. I'm sure your model would be happy with these.

I see you've got PP ok in your signature, but if you want this image edit gone, just let me know

Beautifully captured images showing a great feeling for the subject. Really like the treatment on #1 and #3

cheers

Not sick of them at all and I really like them, #2 is probably my favourite, she looks like a lovely girl, with a very natural quality to her, if that makes sense. I like the more relaxed nature of your shots and her poses.
