Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

part 3
technically i bonked this one, it's underexposed in a bad way, but the setup pose is good though
bounce flash from side
don't like the expression on this one, too cheezy, but the lighting is good
bounce flash reflected from a bluish room from the right, you can see the light is somewhat uneven due to the bounced light coming through the window seals on the right, it makes the lighting more interesting
this is the dress that won the Coser Award, it's not as intricate as the other garments but it has a certain cutesy selegance to it
better exposed shot, bounce flash from the right

I love the background details you provide on each shot - even if I never have a chance to do what you do, and barely take more than the occasional portrait, it's good that you provide little tips like this and show how it works.
I like the third shot - the dress and the model, and only a little afterwards do you see the hive of activity at the base.
The model in the first and last shots looks very, very thin - has the photo has been compresssed, or should we all be chipping in to buy her a happy meal, stat?

The shots look a bit grainy to me (around the chest area) What ISO did u use? I like you work Wendell keep it up.
The girl looks more skiny due to the height of her hair. That would excentuate sp? the body...

thankyou
i usually shoot at ISO800 manual shutterspeed and aperture for this sort of style and just hope the shutterspeed is set right i usually take 3 pictures to work out optimum exposure
i start off with 1/250 f4.5(sweetspot on my 28-70) ISO800 take pic evaluate it, if it's too dark/light I adjust shutterspeed accordingly
flash is usually1 meter away from model set on ttl
number one is underexposed, possibly i used a high shutterspeed out of sync with the max sync speed on the flash or the flash didn't fire prperly, or the surface the flash was bounced off absored most of the light, don't know what happened there
