Model shots and a few more

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

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.

Model shots and a few more

Hi Guys,

Had the opportunity to shoot with a model on the weekend and here's one of the results.

Whole new world working with flashes and models. Great experience though. I learnt a lot.

Love to hear some C&C.

There's also a few more here I'd appreciate some help with: http://www.flickr.com/photos/22767657@N07/

Yeah I was there, great day. I learnt a lot.

The lighting was hard in this scene as it was near on impossible to bounce any of the light coming from her top left back up into her face. With more time we could have but with limited flash guns and from what i have read that is the idea I'm pretty happy with it.

NIce image. Apart from the shadow on her face, you also have a pole running through her head! :D I would crop from the top as there is a lot of empty space, causing her to feel a bit lost.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

I'm pretty new to the whole PP thing but I'll have a crack and will repost as soon as it's done.

I was there too but didn't get the chance to shoot any shots of Sarah
the light looks a little hot on her left arm and while you are cropping it try rotating it a little to fix the verticals

I'd really appreciate the comments. I've not been shooting for that long and the help really does make a difference.
