Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Hey Dan,

Haven't commented on your work recently, so here goes.

#1 I really like this one, the processing really appeals to me with only a minor niggle the brighter white bit near the bangles.

#2 I really like the tight crop, I'm not use to seeing such fine detail in the models complexion from you, at first I liked it but on closer inspection its almost too sharp (or over sharpened as the texture of the skin isn't very appealing) I like the pose, crop and lighting.

#3 This one doesn't do much for me, no keen on the pose or the composition its a bit mess with the window or door or whatever it is on the far right side.

#4 Mixed feelings with this one, her legs look a little unnatural again (same model as last time right) they seem overly brown and the wide angle make her left leg took bigger then her right which is a bit distracting. Nice smile and lighting, but it feels a little aimless.. as in why is she on her knees, outside presumably on your deck ? I prefer a garden, beach setting or her doing something more engaging (if that makes sense?)

This was not sharpened at all......i love my Nikon 1.4 50mm....lol

Yeah tight space.......not much i could do....

the first 3 are excellent

except the first one the framign is a bit off in my opinion needs more room at the top and i'd probably centre her too but i knwo what you were trying to do with the whitespace and lines on the left

2nd one sweet sharp with lots of detail

3rd one is cool too nice shapes there
where is the rest from that model

The third one looks a little too much like she spewed on herself. Other than that, I like the lighting in all shots. If I had to pick my fave it would be shot 2. Really nice focus on the face.

Hey Dan, some really nice work and its great to see that your work load seems to be increasing with all the different locations and models you are allowing us to see

All of these (and your work in general) are so sharp... are they all taken with th 17-35?
