C&C: a few more pennies

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.

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I won't give too much feedback on these because I'm about to head out, but the one thing that sticks out is the black shirt with gold writing. I think it takes away from the images. I took a few seconds to stop and try and read the shirt, especially in the first. I like the others though. The last one is really nice!

Bruce,

She's a gorgeous model and you have done a wonderful job in photographing her. I can't fault the photos at all. The thing that bugs me is, to me, she has overdone her makeup around her eyes. I think she could tone that back a bit as she has more than enough natural good looks.

thanks for the kind words all, sounds like I am on the right track at improving. still poor at my focusing (might need to learn what the "fine tune" thingo is) and mastering "curves adjustment" (no pun intended).

No adjusting needed I think... What was the set up for the low key last shot? One softbox to the left?

bare hot lamp, similar to a regular hardware 500W halogen work light, 45 degrees left rear of model to provide the rim or accent effect. about waist height.
