    Model with Roses

    Alright guys, I know you've seen this model before, but I owe her some images and need to figure out the best ones. What does this one do for you, if anything?

    I kinda like the nail polish, it hits a certain tone with the image that sort of says, "hey look at me!".
    Rookie to the scene.

    Thanks fellows. She was an exotic looking chic. I don't know what to say about the pink nail polish :crazy: Judging from your responses, I am guessing she'll like the photo. Thks,

    Re: Model with Roses

    I would try fixing the stray hair, theres also a couple hot spots in her hair and her arm that could be fixed. Other then that I'd call it a keeper.

    I'm also curious what shes looking at, not sure if thats hurting the image, it might even be helping it, depending on the use. Could be great positioned next to another image, so it looks like shes looking out of her picture and into the other frame.

    Re: Model with Roses

    I have no experience to critique the model photos

    What I know is about the flowers, those are not roses , they are red bugambilias

    Re: Model with Roses

    Armando - Thks you are right! I don't know why I wrote roses, I guess I just associated red with them.

    Anbesol, I don't see the hair but I do see that bright spot on the top. Sun was so bright that day .. I'm actually surprised they came out as well as they did. Maybe it's the new D700's "D-lIghting" setting that supposedly improves dynamic range.

    Some models looks best staring right at the camera, others look better looking off into the distance (I'm sure there's many other variants of that too). I was trying to figure out what the best was with her ... direct didn't seem as good, so I asked her to just look to the side a bit. Seemed to have worked. I will think about that out of the frame idea I wonder what type scene I can have her looking at?
