There is a great feel to these images Wendell. The one with most appeal is #3 apart from the awkward shadow on her forehead. The lighting and exposure are great. The sense of movement in the last also engages the viewer and would have done ever so much more with the eyes being more visible through the flowing hair.
Great shots Wendell, plenty to work with here.
cheers

Sorry wendellt but the shadows in these pictures are very distracting to me.

#1 has a very dark blob on her forehead

#3 once again distracting shadows n forehead

#4 shadows looks like a dirty marks on her chest .

I do like #2 but a small detail the lace bow on her midriff should have been displayed a little better .Instead of it looking like a girly bow to me it looks like a granny knot .


LOZ PS My wifes comment on #1 was she concidered it to be disturbing ???

Straight off I'll admit I'm not a big fan of your model work (but then you know that). That said I really liked your previous Fred Bare shoot from earlier in the year. I've come back to these a few times before commenting, but my views haven't changed much:

#1 Way too much flash on the girl, but oddly the top of her head is dark so I'd say poorly lit. The whole extra bright effect makes the background disappear and it looks like she's been pasted over another scene.

#2 This ia a really odd composition. She looks like she's reclining as in a coffin and I can't get that out of my head. Otherwise the image is fine, albeit a little stark

#3 Like #1 the lighting is a bit OTT, but at least she looks part of the scene.

#4 Feet chopped off, right hand blurry and that odd lighting. Again she looks superimposed.

Sorry to be so harsh, but you can do much better than this Wendell.

Of course if your intent was to make the images look the way I've described, then you've done well.

Wendell - hate to say this mate, I'm usually a huge fan of your work and I adored your previous Fred Bare work. This time around, so far...from what I've seen I think you could do loads better. I find a lot of the shots a little too 'adult' in the way they've been composed (with the exception of the last one). They verge on provocative and not child like. I'm only saying this as I know you can do better. The lighting/shadows and composition have let you down mate. Show us some more/different ones. I know you can handle the honest critique and that you are well on your way to becoming a great fashion photog, this time around though - you haven't nailed it as you usually do.
