    Re: Model 2

    I like this one a lot GB, the only improvement that comes to mind is increasing the catchlight in her right eye (left of frame) to match the size of the one in the other side.

    Re: Model 2

    I have no idea whats going on here, and the expression is too ambiguous for me, really not digging the pose. Hands up, hair grabbed, head tilted, soft smile. The combination I am sorry I don't think is working too well here. Color looks well done here, the skin looks a tad too airbrushed (or maybe too much make-up?). Good eyes and exposure. Was this continuous or strobe?

    I love the lighting on her and the warmth of it. Looks like morning sunlight and goes great with her blonde country girl look. I'm not crazy bout the pose and probably think it would be best for her to be looking a bit off away from the camera for a more candid and less contrived mood. Really fine light and the white bg works well

    Re: Model 2

    Thanks everyone. This was a shot I took while fine-tuning my exposure to match the strobes' outputs. It was slightly over-exposed, and with her white shirt against white background I guess it came out, well, different! Maybe airy or angle-like.

    Jet, you're getting good with models, you're noticing the finer points immediately! I will see if I can add a catchlight to her other eye.

    Anbesol, I see your point. I also see a lot of things happening and the first question that comes to mind is, what's going on? Perhaps a shampoo ad, but without the shampoo ? I think I want to do something in post processing: the question is, what? Btw, she did have a lot of make-up .. I think I did smooth one area out a bit in post processing, but not much. It was strobe lighting (... I embarrassingly don't know how the two would look different..?).

    Gary, it does look like the morning in Arizona or something. That's what I do like. The pose is trying to say something, but whatever it is it gets lost in translation. (It was my idea btw, so have to take the hit on that!) I have other shots of her, will post one or two more.

    Thanks again for your comments!!!
