Hi guys, I thought I'd throw in another shot I got from the same SCN car show, different model this time. Right off the bat, the flash didn't behave in this shot either. Thanks.

I like that you went with the shallow DOF. It might not have necessarily been the "right choice" for a car show, but I like it. the out of focus highlights add a "glittery" effect that works here.
Yeah, the overexposure from the flash is definitely not flattering.
And it has nothing to do with you, but I'm not a big fan of her pose. As a model who is used to being in front of the camera, she really should have a better sense of getting her body into a flattering position. If this were a candid shot it wouldn't be an issue, but I think it leaves a bit to be desired here.
Thanks for posting this here. The "Glamour" style is really tough to get right and you can be you'll never see ME posting an attempt at it on here...! :D

Whew, I'm glad it wasn't me that asked her pose like that - however she was talking to some photographer as she was posing. Her body pose did not appeal to me as well, what I liked was her face and smile - perhaps I should have went for a face shot. Thanks for your feedback.
