A Planned Outdoor Summer Shoot So Of Course There Was A Rainstorm

Brody

Planned to be an elegant "implied" shoot at an outdoor location, we ended up trapped in a doorway alcove for two hours while an inch of rain came down. We shot no more than 4 feet apart, very little light, and off the shoulder clothing became multi-layers and a hood. Actually a fun shoot though.



Thanks in advance for your feedback.

This girl is absolutely gorgeous but the photo is not very sharp. Would like to see a sharper version and some work done to the eyes

I agree on the sharpness on the one above - It's a soft focus version she liked, and so do I for that matter, but you seem to be looking for 'au natuale'. The best I have is below and it's still not really 'sharp'. I mentioned that all images that day, a few hundred, were unexpectedly having to be shot during a thunderstorm hiding in a tiny dark alcove, so the ISO was 100 and the f-stop 1.8 so there was no depth of field, and in most pics, if one eye was in focus, the other one, plus eyebrows and other features were fading - just no light, but I still like the image, the composition probably - To each their own i guess.



Thanks for your feedback,

Just one suggestion....
I only have one minor suggestion. And, it's something that I've had to fix on my own shots once I back off and look at them. In my opinion, the whites of the eyes are over processed. Whiten, but don't make white...maybe it should be stated as a lightening process rather than whitening. If you do, the eyes look, well kinda synthetic...as the white over powers the iris.
