Hey,

Not sure on the new rules, but since i am in NO way a competent photographer, i would still like C & C on my images so i am throwing these in here?

I really like the second one. It seems to have really nice skin tones without the overall feel of the image being too soft. I think its the contrast in the hair and on the skin that helps this.

i like the idea of the first but unfortunately because you cant see her face i think its ruined.

Really like the second though, great lighting and skin tones...

The first also dosen't work for me I think because I can't see her face also.

The last seems to have a color cast...

Although it was probably intentional I am not a fan, I do like the pose though.

I like the third - unusual and interesting pose and expression on her face. The first doesn't work so well on its own but in combination with number three does kind of fit. The only area of dense colour in the third is the necklace and below which kind of unbalances it but I like the expression. In the fourth the pose looks a bit more uncomfortable. All up, I like :D

the concept of the last one is great

but i think your loosing a flattering pose there because the left arm takes away from the body if you think angular lines and create parallel lines with arms with the pose it would be much more flattering

also your shooting up high so there is foreshortening of the body in fashion its est to shoot a little lower but i know why you do this to get something different you just need to weigh hat is more important being different or gettign a more flattering image theres no right or wrong

the 2nd one is good too but i think that would of worked better in portrait mode theres no interest on the right side to add to that composition apart from the white space
but technically light is great

Hi there

The second last photo really works for me. In my opinion, this photo shows the essence of the female form in a soft, confident way.

The other photos are nice also but do not seem to be as interesting as the second last photo.

Thanks for sharing

Cheers

Graham

ROTFLMAO........that gave me a good chuckle.......funnily enough with those i didnt work the skin over that much as it has that purple cast over it...clone tool is my friend, take out imperfections to the smallest possible size you can...takes time, but you keep texture and that is important, well to me anyhow.....
