Portfolio shoot on Sunday

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.

Portfolio shoot on Sunday

One from a shoot I did on Sunday. This was taken with the 5D though I predominantly used the D2Xs for safety's sake in case I messed up the entire shoot with a new camera.

Shot with the 24-105L f4.

I love the quality of the 5D but still prefer how robust the D2 feels.

Hi Wayne,

Just try something for a minute... have a lookat the photo and put your thumb over the bottom left corner. Without that highlight the image is stronger... your eye is not drawn away from the model for no real reason. Otherwise I like the lighting and the pose.

cheers, Ants

G'day Anthony,

Thanks mate :) Sorry I did spot that last night and forgot to clone/crop it out...that's what you get for trying to process at 2 in the morning :)

Cheers,

Wayne

Very nice, Wayne. The only critique I have is that her upper arm (the one closer to camera) appears so much more dominant compared to her face and that spoils it a bit for me, but that's just me. Apart from that, I really like it.

Nice, really nice.

I like the simplicity of the grey background. THe leading lines towards her by the corner/ceiling in the upper right hand side, complemented by framing of her arm, great.

Agree on the crop/clone.

Eye contact is right on! Eyelashes to fall in love with :wink:

Part of me says "Healing brush tool - spot" the under arm stuble, but depends on the purpose. If this is a portfolio for her, then I think she would be happy for you to dull it down / clone it out.

Nice shot Wayne, any chance you can post a few more (all be it smaller if you want). I'd love to see a few shots from both cameras ( not many people are in the position to own both). Given I haven't had the pleasure to use a 5D I'd like to see what the fuss is all about.
