Hi, these are 3 shots of a gal from a photo shooting contest I attended on the weekend. I'd appreciate any feedback as I am deciding which photos to submit that will give me a chance of winning. I'll try to post shots of two other gals later on. Thanks for any input.

I like the first one the other two the hair...... and the first one also has a better background.

I like the other set better but I think you have too much space above the head. You should crop it out.

Thanks for the input and suggestions, guys.

Of these three, the first image looks best to me but I would up the exposure a little in PS. The other two photographs the models hair looks oily. The shooting angle in the first image is a little lower than the next two. She isn't looking up at the camera so she looks more natural.

Difficult to say which is best. The first is a tad dark and the second is, to me, a little too bright. The third may be the best, but I also chime in that there is too much negative space above her head and it needs to be cropped out.

Also, make sure you sharpen them a little first. The eyes should be the sharpest pt in the photo.

Thanks Jim and GB for the tips.

Did you try any full body shots?

Did you try any full body shots?

manacsa, no full body shots this time (at least nothing I recall intentionally doing - I may have been too far for a face shot at times but I don't think I had any full body ones) ... I recall the winning shots last year were all face shots so I went that way this year.

There's a fashion show this coming weekend so I will probably attempt some full body shots.
