Hi Alex - I reckon the flash overpowers the shots a bit/ That said, I do prefer natural light. Some of these shots seem like the flash was doing 90% of the lighting and it's all too white!

the 1st half length shot is gorgeous
the lighting looks just right doen't look like the flash overpowered the shot
and your white balance is on the money

sometimes if the staging doesn't look too nice it's not worth takign the long shot, wait til the model walks away form the clutter then shoot, the backgroudn can all be too distracting at times

Paul: I agree the flash is overpowering.

Wendell: I think the 1st shot could be better if it was a bit sharper (the face), I was lucky she gave me a look. Yes, the background looked crap this time, because there was little stage space very cluttered.

The closer framed ones appeal to me the most, the first one is the nicest frame and pose and nicest lighting (for me anyway and I have NO idea as to what I'm talking about with fashion stuff :lol: ) but does seem a midge soft, maybe bit more PP?

The ones with the background might be good promo stuff...

Alex, you're doing really well mate, good stuff...

Thanks for the comments, Andrew. I'll try more sharpening on the 1st one.
