Ohmygod! That fourth one is imitating that guy I saw on the cover of Chimp!

[iposiniditos]

All photos are great. If i had to choose one, it will be the last for sure.

thankyou everyone
yeah leigh it's a rokkstar pose not too happy about it it's a bit forced would have been better to get some hands on her chest or something

anyway you may recognise the 1st girl it's Zoe

Some great shots, I find the last great and disturbing at the same time. My favourite would be the first, and I love the destat treatment IMHO its spot on for the affect you were trying to acheive.

Congrats Wendell you keep going from strength to strength.

Hey Wendell - I really like #2 - excellent eye contact with one eye in shadow and one eye in the light.

IMO #3 suffers from the eye position - is she about to blink, or does she have right eye that turns down?

#4 is fantastic - great series!

[Geoff]

Craig - I'm interested in why you find the last image disturbing?
Great work again Mr Wendell!

[shutterbug]

Again I love them all....

What I find is you are not afriad to increase the iso in your cam

[Grev]

I like all of them but I think the first one is desaturated too much and the colour is too cool.

Wendell, I'll volunteer to put my hands on her chest for your next image. Always willing to go the extra mile for fellow DSLR forum members.

Great work again Mr Wendell!

Mainly as I was expecting some form or shape or texture in the revealed skin, and it kind appears like a genderless mankin (a gorgeous one mind you) but clothes on.

Do you have any specific reason why choosing ISO800 for this shoot?

[bouyant_clown]

Love all 4 of the photos, would like to see either of the first two models in the last pose. I feel that the orange of the hair in the last shot is too unbalancing (is that even a word?) against the soft greys and skin tones (the red fingernails work because they don't take up as much area. Just my thoughts any way. Congrats on the great shots!

hi Yi-P

I usually shoot at ISO 800 when using my flash to get as much ambient light in the shot
if i shot at ISO 100 the flash drowns out the background makes it kind of black
in some of these shots the model is well exposed and there is enough background to be seen

the ttl mode on the flash automatically compensates for hi ISO the only disadvantage is in the shadow tones you can see noise but its a small trade off to get the tone i want in the image

and thanks to everyone else
