Sorry if people have already seen this. But i thought maybe i'd post my images here and it'd be more appropriate.

There are more pictures in my flickr photo stream, but I personally think they aren't as great as these four pictures that i will print and give to the model for our TFP agreement.

I just would like comments and criticism to help me improve things.

    They could all benefit from more post work, read up on this forum and you'll get lots of ideas.

    In the first her head is turned just a touch too far, occluding the far eye.

    I might crop the top of the second, just a touch.

    I'm not crazy about the composition or expression in the third. It's close, but her ear is just a bit too close to the edge of the frame, and her expression looks just a bit pained.

    The fourth is nice, but again could be helped by a tighter crop, IMO. There's too much space up top.

    Keep posting!

    They're good, but I agree with DavidTO, tighter crops, and try to get in on a little less-angle to her face. The shots look kinda stressed/forced, pose and expression wise...

    Keep it up, shoot, re-shoot, and post more thumb.gif

    You mention the expressions are forced. what kind of things could i do to make shots feel more natural. (I cannot judge well if the shot looks forced)
