    CAROLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    These are without a doubt some of the best I've seen from you - love them all!! 3/4 are my favorites. The only one I'm not 100% sold on is 5 (the bw) - it just feels a tad disconnected.

    But seriously, these are wonderful - the poses are fantastic, the expressions natural, the processing naturalistic and comfortable, the window shots add just enough mystery (perhaps bump up the contrast a tiny bit, however?) and I really like what you've done. clap.gif

    Thanks, Diva! I have more to come from this shoot. My friend wrangled up a couple of her friends for an all afternoon expedition to her old family summer place in a small town outside of austin. It was a wonderful day for me to play. I just had my wisdom teeth extracted yesterday, so I'm a bit drugged as I'm editing these. I can't eat any real food, so this is helping pass the time.

    Really, really nice stuff. Not totally in love with the b&w ones for some reason, but the rest are really wonderful.

    I reworked one of the b/w.

    Working for anyone now? It's better for me, but I'm on drugs.

    I like #4!

    Did you use some sort of off camera flash off to the left, her face almost looks a little blown on that side...but I still like it..the eyes look nice and sharp with a little twinkle in them.
    I wish it was 68 where I'm at....it's a high of 21 with lots of snow and ice :cry

    Yep, with the sun behind her, I needed some strong fill. I actually bumped up the exposure on her face a bit in post.

    No, it certainly is not. I am glad the cold returned in time for Christmas, especially since my husband was threatening to turn on the AC!
