Like the interplay of the 3 different sources of lighting on the 3rd - excellent result.

I think you have both done a good job with that! You have retained colour in the sky, got some shape into the pose without it looking forced, found a solution for what to do with his hands, with decent lighting and nice processing and the model has got that kind of noncholant cool fashiony look...

stunning shots

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide the details.

nice shots, lovely birds. Never even seen a siskin, let alone got a pic of one! I can't get anything remotely close to this - can i ask what lens you used?

These are fantastic.

nicely ethereal!

Been thinking about doing this for a while to get away from posed model shots They are really good, and 4 and 5 are excellent shots - both really characterful and natural in their correct environment - I believe it is called 'congruence'. Really inspired by this to get on and do it rather...

Really like the 3rd one, seems to capture the energy, excitement and danger.

For me the one with the back wheels in the air screams "STOP!" far more than the smoking tyres which is more 'STOPPED' Rightly or wrongly I am seeing it as the driver jamming the brakes on so hard that the back of the car lifts up. Well done on getting the car with it's back wheels so far off...

WEEK 19: INGREDIENTS Wanted to do something with my speedlites this week. Came across a bottle of shampoo with all sorts of chemically ingredients and started trying to light it as a clean product shot to show the ingredients, which was very dull. Added the flowers to show what the producers...

Agree with the comments that it works well for the theme and that the colours are really nice and rich. Just wonder if the lighting is maybe too straight on. The only shadow is just sticking out slightly from the head on the right. If the light was at more of an angle then the reflection would...

Indulgence - choccies nicely lit, with nice blurred background and the vignette works. Close - for me the DOF is right and the composition works, but the light is just a bit harsh. Looks like sunlight or flash. I find that the colours on flowers are better in overcast or wet conditions (water...

I zoomed all the way in to see the big picture and the detail, sharpness and colours are all fantastic. Having zoomed right in so that the picture was bigger than my laptop screen I found that I preferred a tight crop with the bright colours and textures filling the frame, however that is...
