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.

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.

i love your stuff. the angles, lighting and compositions are always very appealing to me. #2 is a freakin pearler. the soft glow of the lighting is sublime. although...i must say, i dont particularly like the facial expression in #3.

great composition in 1 Not sure abour 2; perhaps more contrast / saturation? 3 makes me wonder what she's thinking! I'm not into portraits, so I can only offer 'reaction' to what I see. Enjoyed looking at them!

Bruce She's beautiful! I just want to run my hands over her curves and caress every part of her body. The girl looks OK too! On a serious note...these are some of the more sophisticated images you have posted and demonstrate your maturity as an evolving artist/photographer. These images would not look out of place in Vogue magazine. Nice work!
Regards
Matt. K

thanks heaps on the great feedback, agree with the PP work required, these are almost straight from camera, so now for some levels etc.

I would agree that sophisticated is a great word to describe these images..

I love the first shot, the car is soo glossy, love it, and her red dress is a great compliment to the black car. Helps to have a hot model too though

good stuff bruce.
i'd like to see more light on her (only) in the first pic. Perhaps a localised light that's shielded so it won't splash on the car as well.

yeah, agree, thats exactly what I was thinking at the time, but the exercise was to see what I could get with just the sun, and a camera (no reflectors etc).

I really like these as a sequence telling a story. Generally with "glamour" shots, I have a quick peep and move on.
I keep coming back to this thread though as there is a real mood to them. As such I am not really prepared to pull one out and say "that's the one" If I was was held at gun point though I would probably go with #2 as this really encapsulates the whole story for me.
Greg It's easy to be good... when there is nothing else to do
