The processing is a little different. I like it.

#1 feels a little tight for me. Maybe a slightly wider crop - and by this I'm being picky.

#3 I would rotate slightly so that the wooden planks on the floor are straight. I feel like I'm tilting my head slightly.

Again with #4 and #5 the seem ever so slightly wonky. It might just be me.

#3 is probably my favourite. I bet that pose could be made to look really uncomfortable but she looks good.

 

[Slimbert]

The processing is not quite there for me, but the lighting in 4 and 5 is nice and dramatic!!

The bridge in number 3 looks wonky, as does the bench in number 4. Easy fixes though....!!

 

[ki_user]

Thanks a lot for the comments, #4 should be level to the windowsill as used the horizon tool on it. #3 is out, will give that a tweek.

Wow, I like to see things away from the norm. I am not qualified to crit these but just wanted to let you know I think they are excellent, she should be well pleased with these.

 

[Buttkicker]

some nice images here although 3 looks as though she is about to take dump - the pose looks very unnatural

I like the lighting in 5 although the neck looks a little hot

 

[ki_user]

thanks for the comments both, I thought fashion photography was about unnatural poses

 

[jovialjester]

#1 is my favourite, lovely lighting

 

[ki_user]

Cheers Chris.

 

[Jujitsu1]

#1 and #2 for me. Love the lightinging in them both. Love how the lighting does a cris cross under her chin in the second one.

 

[ki_user]

Thanks Darren

Second photo is top quality fashion photo.

 

[stan the man]

good work lee...1&2 for me also

 

[ryanyboy]

One is great. Two is so close to brilliant. Just that black Line running out of her head. Love the complimentary colours in three. Four's ok and but the framing in 5 is weak.

Overall good.

 

[ki_user]

Cheers all, "close to brilliant" I can certainly cope with that.

 

[tinite]

#4 is my favourite. Nice lighting and interesting location/pose. Good work!

 

[ki_user]

Thanks

I'm not a fan of the lighting Tbh.

 

[ki_user]

That's a pretty sweeping statement seeing as they are nearly all lit differently. Care to elaborate?

 

[duttytd]

Sorry its a personal pref, I'm not a fan of shadows

 

[Rustico]

#2 for me; excellent work!

You're not a fan of shadows?! How on earth does that work out? You mean you keep your photos only to highlights and midtones? So you're not a fan of contrast then, either?

I tell you want I won't bother replying on posts like this from now on!

 

[duttytd]

BTW what I meant about shadows was the shadows under her chin/neck

 

[tinite]

Okay - you need to be a bit more specific if you're gonna make sweeping statements like "I'm not a fan of shadows"...anyhow, each to their own.

 

[Rogdodge]

No 2 - terrific shot. Well Done

I' glad it's not just me that found that comment odd.

Nothing wrong with posting your opinions, it's all part of the learning process for us. But the comments need to make sense. If you had for example said something like "I don't like 3,4 & 5 because the the shadows are too harsh" that would have made sense.
