    Crystal (one from the photoshoot)

    I got the chance to head out with a couple friends and do a short fun photoshoot. The two girls we were shooting wanted some pictures of them together & seperate that they could both take to college and stuff. So they put on their prom dresses & we went out for an hour and shot. It was my first time doing a "real photoshoot" since I'm used to sports & nature. Here is one of the images (my favorite) that I got. It was shot about 1/2 through the shoot, and after taking it, I knew for me this was the money shot. Comments & Critiques welcome!

    Good composition and framing. I would work on the blemishes (neck & chin) in PS to make here skin as clean as possible.

    It looks nice. I would crop the image and get ride of some spaces on the sides. Just focus on her look and not worry much about getting her shoulders in the shot. Also the background looks really blown out and over powers the small changes from black to white on her face. Also on the right that black area is distracting.

    Good job on the shot, you got a good eye.

    i like this image alot. she is very beautiful and the photo shows it. however the area on the right is bad. i think its works ok being blown out, but i see a big spot of greyer area to. but thats, to me, a minor detail in a very good picture.
