Critique Beach Portrait




I like the side frame!

When a model turns his/her head, it is nicer
when the eyes stay straight forwards.

Legs are tricky… she stands on the left leg
with an inelegant knee and a not so graceful
upper thigh. Bending the knee and pointing
the foot would help.
 
Can't comment at all on the posing as I have no idea. What I do like though is the general feel of the image. Colours tones and light all work really well for me.

I would have given just a bit more space below her feet but great exposure.
 
Loving the feel to this, the tones work really well and is a cracking exposure.
Did you use ocf?
 
Thanks for the replies guy's.... Yeah I used OCF to the camera right.

Not often I say I like a photo particularly but in the case I do. Some may point out tech things but I look at a picture for what it is not what it could be.

Really like this set, great tones and colours giving a nice atmosphere. Your model looks great too, perhaps some eye contact in one of them would have worked well too?

What did you use to light it, speed light?
 
The first two are quite nice although I prefer the second as the framing in the first is a little too tight for me. Another point on the first two - she's looking off to her left which has resulted in "zombie eyes". I'd prefer to see more of her irises.

The last image isn't great I'm afraid. The use of the wide-angle lens hasn't done her any favours - see the size of her left thigh. It looks massive because it's closer to the lens than her head and feet. Take care when using wide lenses.
