I think you've got it nailed in the 3rd. :up:

The 2nd feels like it needs a tighter crop.

I like the 1st but I can't help but feel that the light glare works well on the lower bit of the girls body but it needs some sort of dynamics on the top half. She seems less vibrant than say that of the background and my eye is drawn to the light making her wallpaper, which is a shame. I'd say that you'd need some of the beautiful light on her arm on the rest of her body to highlight how she's 3-dimensional.

Yes the light on the back is too much.
This is my first studio work.
Any advise will be appreciated.

I really like them Poon.

Definately agree with Nnnsic about number 1.

My pick for pose would be number 3 but the face seems a little soft. Could just be my eyes though.

I don't have the expertise to give you any advice though. One thing I can say is that you must have established a good connection with the model as she seems very relaxed and comfortable in the poses. Great background setting aswell.

Great work!

#3 :up: . Nice pose and composition.

#2 I don't like the left arm and shoulder positioning in the pose and would prefer a bit more eye/face to face contact.

#1 The bright background is a distraction from your lovely model.

Nice work though, Poon .

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

The third one is very appealing. It's a nice pose, she seems comfortable and confident, but maybe her head would be better very slightly raised.

Nice work Poon.
