Pic of Bonnie from Sunday's studio shoot

He is the first pic from Sunday's shoot with the model Bonnie Stevens. We shot a variety of styles from glamour to this lifestyle closeup.

I like the composition with the sweeping diagonals of the head dress and the blue is great. My only comment would be the whites of her left eye look a little blown; if you could town them down a little, I think it would add to the overall effect.

I'd be very happy to have taken this shot!

Another angle.

Much prefer the second
The first, just seeing the tear duct makes the eye feel incomplete.
Sorry for being nitpicky! I always feel bad when making little stupid statements like that.

Just my opinion of course

You are not being nitpicky at all. I tried photoshopping over that last piece of right eye with extra material, but it still made the face look wrong. I think it is one of those cases where it doesn't quite work either way. Ah well, that's life!

Anyway, thanks for your comment - appreciated.

For image one I wonder if shopping out the umbrella reflection and putting in a nice dark pupil would lift it a bit.

For me the edge of her right eye is not a problem.

It is a really nice bit of material, and the framing on 2 is great.

That second shot is beautiful.

I agree with Fragglerock's comment about the umbrella/octagonal softbox reflection too on the first shot, but it's still a shot I'd be very happy with, it just isn't shot #2 though.

Shot number two all the way for me.

Btw, just viewed Bonnie's profile on MM - very pretty model indeed.

Second with a tighter crop, (removing the black triangles TR & TL), then it will absolutely sing.
