Spanish lady in the Lakes, not too many of them in December. I prefer #2 where you have the complete shadows too, a better angle for the lady and a mountain backdrop. I like this technique of taking images of someone who is posing for another tog, but from a different angle.

Aaaah, that would explain why it doesn't look candid. Nice shot, although I can't help thinking that it would have been better without the lady :shrug: More concentrated on the wonderful stones and BG.

#2 is the pick of these two - I like the shadow and bg in that one!

Well, Dave, I know nothing about candids, so will only say that I like number 2 better specifically because the lighting on the young woman's face is better, without the heavy shadows seen in number 1. I would think that some PP could help with the glare/blown highlights along the model's cheekbone and bridge of her nose, and to give her a more pleasing skin tone. (Looks as though the cold had taken her complexion from ruddy to just plain red. LOL)

I've never taken a good candid...and darn few good posed shots, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

Thanks Hunter, the lady was just posing for her friend, so I took a couple of cheeky shots, dont think they noticed thats why I said candid in the title, she was posing but for someone else,
