Fashion Shoot C&C needed!

PhotoGuy40

I had the Opportunity to shot a knit wear fashion line and I'm looking for some advise on the best crop some and some overall C&C on my composition & lighting.

Lighting info: Shot during the sweet hour I only had a large softbox to camera left

Hi, photoguy! I like the composition of these images. A coupe of things I can say are a) there seems to be an ashy cast to her skin. Maybe for next time, try to see if a gold body shimmer/lotion could help make her skin glow. It may just be my uncalibrated monitor but the photo looks like it could use some contrast. Maybe brighten up her face a little more so that our eyes aren't pulled away from her by the pale branches. The middling branch, specially, is kind of disconcerting.

Anyway, hope that helps you Off to see your other thread now.

Good eye! I woulda missed it if weren't pointed out - And I'm calibrated (just a wee bit dumb ).

#2 seems a touch underexposed and flat to to me but I like the content , colors and it doesn't hurt that you have a beautiful model. The only thing though that jumps out at me is her arm size in #2. could be that the lighting falls there and accentuates. I am thinking she will not like that it bulges out by the armpit. If you use photoshop you can use the "pinch" function to fix that or the other techniques you could use to thin it out. She isn't a big girl but it makes her look bigger than she is in comparison to #1.
