    There are some really nice poses going on here...(In particular, the last shot. Her expression is fantastic!)

    Love everything about these and ya got me wanting to make a ring light for myself. My only nit would be with the splotched gradients on her skin.
    Fairly noticeable on her arm, elbow and face on #1 and shoulder and face on #3....
    This could be the processing or quite possibly the compression from uploading as attachments.

    Thanks guys.

    Hey Rey, I don't doubt you but I'm curious what you're seeing. Could you download one and mark the blotches you're talking about. I'd appreciate it. If you want to send it privately, ny e-mail is BTBilsen AT Gmail DOT com.

    Thanks

    John try reducing the brightness on these as you are viewing them. If your display is really bright it may be masking the blotchyness we are seeing.

    An easy spot to see is no the last one, her near eye is much brighter than the rest of her skin and a different color.

    When you first started processing these were there some blown areas that you did some work to recover?

    John it's like seeing pixels that are corrupted with regards to gradients in tones they are not smooth transitions and instead very defined as if perhaps low resolution.
    Here is an obvious example:

    That's why I thought perhaps upload compression could be the culprit....

    Thanks Rey.

    It may be compression beacuse it's not in the RAW or the Hi Res (print) image. HMMMMM.

    Does Zen have a setting for uploads that you might want to check on?
    I've never seen it on any of you other work either

    I'll check it out.

    It's also very possible I just screwed up in profiling it in sRGB. ne_nau.gif I shoot and print in aRGB and the blotches aren't there.

    Ah yes perhaps that's what happened but all that matters really is how it prints unless you are showcasing on line that is...
