    more corinne at night

    Here are the other two from that night I was hoping to get some critiques on. Any advice is much appreciated, especially on the first one. I'm not sure if that's too weird of a perspective or not. What do you all think?

    Re: more corinne at night

    I think the first one needs some more light, too many shadows but still a great image.


    The second one is pretty good I kind of like it.

    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?

    Re: more corinne at night

    The top photo could (or perhaps not) benefit from a slightly longer exposure so her face is still sharp but her hands and arms have a bit of blur. As it is the whole thing looks frozen/stiff/posed and I suspect it actually isn't.

    I like the second one but I thind if it was rotated to the left as a landscape I would like it more.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: more corinne at night

    Tyson, the shadows on her face and chin have been bugging me. But I didn't notice it during shooting and I'm couldn't soften the lines in photoshop well enough. Thanks for the compliments.

    MB1, that is a good idea about showing the motion. That would have been more interesting. As for the other one, I tried that orientation. But it feels like she's under some overhanging wall about to fall when I do that. I think that line that passes under her shoulders is giving me that impression. Not totally sure, but it just feels very unnatural in landscape.

    Thank you both for your ideas.
