    A very beautiful young woman. Nicely shot and processed.

    The first shot is the winner!

    I love the others, but she has been photographically dismembered at the wrists in images 2 & 3 which bugs me a bit ne_nau.gif

    You did do an amazing job with the colors and clarity in all of them. Senior photos I expect?

    The only PP'ing issue I see is the noticeable blemish removal. I've learned that people don't like to see themselves as who they are but there is a point where they look at a processed image and go, "is my skin that bad that it had this much work done to it?" It's a battle all pro shooters have with processing photos for clients... I know I've had the mental battle myself.

    Nice Shots!

    I like #1 & #2 the best.
    I would crop more off the bottom of #3.

    Take Care,

    Is it only ambient? I wonder....

    Also, wondering which camera and lens?

    I'm not OP, so I can't say for sure, but I didn't see any tell-tell signs of any flash usage (or even reflector, for that matter)...ne_nau.gif

    I would have guessed fill flash, for sure on 1 and 3. But it looks nicely balanced.

    The highlights are in different places on the figure in different shots, and rather focused, and there is no sunlight in the background.

    I did use a fill flash with an onboard Canon 550EX flash but I don't recall the settings as I just wanted to use it to get lightpoints in her eyes and bring out any darkened shadows.
    If I recall it was partly cloudy but the sun did peak through the clouds at times giving me a nice softbox look.
    I shot these with a Canon 30D, Canon 70-200 2.8L at ISO 200, f3.5 at 1/60.
    Thanks for all the kind words.

    Thanks for the info!
    Extraordinary light in that case. And extraordinarily well used. clap.gif
