Hard not to like.

Are there any tricks with the background? Not that I took my eyes off the bunny :shock:

Nice setup, but the shadows on the model are harsh and hide the finer detail

Need some reflectors on either side and/or a good burst of fill-flash from a Speedlight

The foot prints leading from the rock are distracting and detract fromt he image (clone them out) :)

No trick in the bg, expect clean the ocean grass from the sand :) This is pure RAW.

I also use the reflector but there was to strong sun and reflector was creating very bad effect on the model. I took this photo with 400mm lens and I purposely leave this foot print on the sand for more depth in this image :) Usualy on this focus lengh every image is little bit flat.


Thx for feedback!

Looks quite red to me - her skin is quite an odd colour.

moz for preserve waves readable I little bit underexposed this photo - maybe this is reason why you see this photo with red dominant or I have weak monitor calibration ;)

I'm not sure. It's just that to me her stomach and legs look quite red/orange - she's not fake tanned by any chance? I've just had a quick play with your jpg and I think it does look better with a bluer colour shift. But bringing up the exposure and correcting colour does blow out the rest of the shot and emphasise the sea haze. Not an easy situation photographically.

As one of the non-DOMAI here, I think leaving the model out and just shooting the interesting bits of the scene would have made for a better shot.

avkomp - keep dreaming hehehehee!


moz how I wrote previously - this foto was only small piece of my bigger commercial project :) I can't take photos without model when I was there :) And you have right she had fake tanned on the skin.
