Sleeping Beauty

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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Laurie - the middle pic looks good to me but I might add a couple of comments.

Remove the two blobs at the top of the pic, and now for something totally radical - rotate the pic 90 degrees clockwise. :cough:

I think maybe make the second 'high key' shot a black and white.

Agree about getting rid of the two black blobs in the shots also. They serve no purpose. You must have an understanding GF. My wife would kill me me for posting cleavge shots! :roll:

Keep em coming (the portraits, not the cleavage shots)! :lol:
2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

It’s amazing how a rotation can produce two different emotions.

To me, the first image (meaning #2) is trust and peace whereas the rotation shows a touch of fear - I really like both of these shots :)

3rd could work if you cropped to include only one eye (in focus) nose and half mouth and turned in to black and white and rotated to left.

wouldn't recommend harsh flash on female portraits... as rule...but rules can be broken.. ;)
