always look forward to your pics Dan! another tough day at the office...

first one I like the strong personal connection, and is very welcoming/drawing.

the second I like her eyes, clear, balanced, nice catchlights, attractive colors captured.

the third, I really like the top half of the background blue, soft focus, provides a nice frame to pop out the subject. nice timing. lighting well utilised as the boob cast looks like its midday. its a very alluring image, done with great taste! one down side for me is the green water (blue it a little if you like PP).

third, I like the blinds leading the eyes to the subject. face framed in the pose with her upper arm. the blinds cord camera left takes my eye away a little, maybe burn it down? her large wavy curls are flattering over her chest, well done! exposure nicely balanced to outside. garden is bright enough for context, supports it well. she looks very happy to be there, and thats important. love the outfit too, very feminine knickers with ribbons, good choice, well styled.

Being a person who prefers outdoors & candid style more.... I reckon # 3 is my pick.

Great colours, the pose and angles are very flattering re neck/stomach etc and the water spalsh pattern is great as well in fotening up the lower body region and putting the emphasis higher int he face or golf motif that is a highlight (but not really blown) on the bikini top. Bright yes, but still distinguishable.

#4 as a posed shot is IMHO nicer than 1 or 2, probably based on skin tones on my non-calibrated monitior... again, looks like a stretched out neck.
