I think your suggested crop would improve the shot, as that bit of exposed skin is distracting to me.

#1 seems to be a mix of a business headshot and a sultry shot with the bra showing. doesnt really do it for me.

#3 is fantastic, love the pose.

Agree, just ran out of time.

Here is same, with a minor crop, I like this better as it takes the "bra" look out.

Bruce,

As was said by others for no. 1. The style of shot does not really do it for me. It also looks like it's OOF or at least I can't see any point of distinct sharpness.

No. 2 the pose just looks awkward and unnatural to me. Otherwise a nice sharp photo.

No.3 is probably the strongest of the lot, although I do find it a bit tightly cropped at the top.

Cheers

Alex

I was thinking the same. Looks to be in focus around the pendant, but the face is soft.
EDIT: Looking again, I think it's all soft, but could be my eyes!

I like #3 though.

thanks for your feedback.

the softness is a result of post processing, so lots of room for improvement there, as the unedits are sharp.

next on my learnings list is how to direct more natural posing to beginner models.

appreciative of good feedback

#2 looks like she's either a) experiencing lower back pain, b) doing some strange kind of exercise, or c) farting.

The other's are tops.
