HeadShots...... What do you think???

PhotoGuy40

Is the lighting OK on these head shot's? Can you offer any advise on what I should change to improve the shot?

I like these very much!

#1 - great skin (yea it looks pp'd, but I don't think it's unflattering)! Her face looks luminous, her make-up looks great to me, and the light looks soft and even. The crop could be better though. Her round earrings are cropped dissimilarly and doesn't look "right." I feel like maybe zooming out a little to include the earrings would make it a better composition.

#2 - I like her pose, but the vertical shadow from her neck down her breastbone, as well as the missing right arm look weird to me.

Thanks for the C&C!!

Both are very nice shots, #1 being my favorite

Only 2 things:
#1: I think her earrings are stealing the show, they're a bit too distracting
#2: did you put a bandage over her nipples?? Might want to smoothen the background (behind her right shoulder)

... other than that

:lol4 The model wanted to go band-aid less but that would have change the ratings. Thanks for the C&C.....I also noticed you have some nice hardware. I have a nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8 that I don't know what to do with it. It distorts the models when I shoot so I might sell it for the 28-70mm 2.8
