    I am a fan of wide panoramic stuff so I'm happy to see the first one as it is....Really large prints are perfect for this type of stuff.
    You have some really nice shots overall and I'd have to say that three and six are my faves.
    My overall nit though is with her skin tones.....I would back off the red and orange saturation levels considerably.
    Nice poses and compositions

    Look at #4. The difference in skin tones on her face and chest, compared with her hand, is startling.
    Other than that, these are really nice. You really show a very friendly, attractive young woman.

    Thanks for the comments! I agree with you on the orange and red. I guess I never noticed it until it was pointed out. Did you make those adjustments in lightroom? Ya the panoramic was something I thought up and never have really seen in portrait work. I think it works ok! Once again thanks for your comments and I am just glad someone actually liked them!

    Ya I noticed that too. I guess im not sure how to fix it. Should I do a hue/saturation layer with a mask and just adjust the over saturated parts?

    Qarik coming from you makes me really happy. I have been doing a lot of practicing and studying poses and such and I think it really came out in these pics. Im really stoked to see you liked them!

    That sounds like a plan. It's probably what I'd do, so maybe you should rethinkrolleyes1.gif

    Your compositions are great and your model lovely!
    Yes I used LR to back off on just orange and red in HSL
    This mostly only effects the skin tones unless there are other colors similar in hue in the image of course.

    I notice a lot of artists are using panoramas for wedding photography these days.

    Ya friend of mine uses panoramic images for a lot of his books. I will take these into LR and make the adjustments there. I noticed it even more on some images I didnt post. Thanks again for taking the time to comment on my images!
