some portraits

[Darkmage]

1st attempt at some portraits, finally got round to processing them. Comments/criticisms and how to improve please

EDIT: a bit more processing!

Thanks,

nice shots, i would put a empty line between the two images to help seperate them.

a slightly tighter crop on the top would help i think

I like the lighting/bg. Concur re. the excess headroom though.

Nice work, but agree that there is too much room above her head, her eyes are very central in the shot at the moment.

thanks for the comments, I shall get cropping ASAP

 

[Darkmage]

some crops Def looks better I think so thanks!

Crops much improved

Out of interest, did you take any with her facing the other direction (as in more towards the light source) just to add a little more depth to the facial features with the light more across her face... Rembrandt lighting for example.

lovely portraits, improved by the crops, and a good connection with the model, she looks really comfortable.
