Portraits of the GF - More Shots!

[jayeshpp]

I recently picked up some new kit, all recommended by members on here, so thanks guys!

The items are:
Nikon SB900
Calumet 60" Silver/White Umbrella (too large though, i'm going to buy smaller)
Calumet Swivel Umbrella Adaptor

I had a great day on Sunday, I took portraits of Delia with some fantastic (well, i'm very happy!) results, I thought i'd post a few of the best on here for your opinions.

Editing: Crop, Levels, Clone Tool, Spot Healing Tool.

Enough talk, heres the shots:

#1

#2

#3

#4

#5

#6

I'll post up a few more a bit later!

Any comments are much appreciated.

Jay.

Actually I think they are really good. Not my style of portraits to critique but her poses are great!

 

[garymercer]

I like them all. #3 is my fave though, that expression is super.

 

[EdBray]

I like 1 & 4, pretty girl!

2&6 wish i had someone whod let me take there picture lol

Nice shots mate, especially considering how little time you've had that gear

She has great hair. One thing: the whites of the eyes could do with a kick on #1, bit grey!

Thanks for the comments so far guys!

I'm not too sure how do make the eyes pop out, I gotta look into this. Thanks for the advice!

Lovely shots of a lovely lady. No 4 is my fav, but all are excellent.

 

[ShawWellPete]

They're all good shots and it's nice to see some natural (minimal PS) photos. My favourite is also 3.

 

[ianfulcher]

#3 for me. Perfect crop

 

[Joshua James]

Brilliant shots here - well done! I'd be tempted to tryand tidy up some of the fly away hair on some of them though. Good poses and a pretty GF!

 

[jayeshpp]

Thank you all for the comments, i'm very pleased as is Delia with both the comments and the photos! I can't wait for my next shoot which is going to involve some Henna and maybe Asian clothing too.

Here are just a couple more photos from the set.

First off, this is my progress on editing #3. As suggested by a few people, I went back to this image to clean up some of those loose hair.

#9

#10

Comments and critisism are as always much appreciated.
