    My fav: #7...great pose!! and love that light set!

    I see it was cold there (as you had said 'nother thread), so my only complaints are the mottled skin in differing shots, neck on one, legs on another er 2.


    cheers, and thanks for sharing!

    headscratch.gif Her expression doesn't seem to vary at all. There's one shot with a hint of a smile, but look at her mouth in every photo. It looks clamped shut.

    #9 the background is hot on one side of the balloons and the other side it's not. As big as she is in the frame that is still pulling my eye away from her. #10 same issue. her face is dark and her hair is 0 black and disappears.

    I love #3 and #7!! iloveyou.gif

    I agree, the shadow tones are not making it to my calibrated monitor, Nik.

    Pretty girl, interesting poses, white background, but all detail in her hair, and other lower quarter tones, is missing in many images.

    This was a certain "full back" light setup. The failures noted, hope to avoid in the future. And thanks for the compliment on the poses, they are all literally mine...mwink.gif

    Interesting, and fantastic poses! Beautiful girl too. The last image is a great idea, and really works. Good job on these!

    Nik,

    First, I can say that I always like your stuff. But, I think in these you're a little under exposed on your model in most of the shots. Shadowy eyes...hard to make out detail.

    Just my 2 cents.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.
    Educate yourself like you'll live forever and live like you'll die tomorrow.

    Ed,
    thank you for your comment! thumb.gif
    While it is possible, it may also be a monitor issue. It does look underexposed on my uncalibrated monitor at work, but according to the lightmeter (and much beter and calibrated monitor at home) the exposure was zeroed in. ne_nau.gif

    Well, first I try to tell what I want. If it doesn't work, I try to show. And if this doesn't work, I pretty much use my hands and move the limbs and other body parts where I need them.
    As to the shots of me doing that, I believe Iso has some :-)
