#2 not feeling the pose
#4 perfect!
#5 ring is twisted - yup, I'm a picky b*
#6 I'd say I'd crop out more of the guy's face ... kinda hard now, but . just saying
#8 hairband :nono
#9 I would have probably put the lady in orange a bit more in the back
#10 .... hmmmm, not sure why you kept that one? Don't think it's particularly flattering??
#11 hilarious, good catch
So, what's the back story?? You shooting proms now?
Enjoyed the rest and felt the moment.
Does anyone else find that the subject in #11 looks eerily like Farah Faucett circa 1970's.
Nahhh . . . I don't ever remember Farah with her tongue stuck out like that.
Natural selection is responsible for every living thing that exists.
D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.
#8 What IS IT with those things. They're like the common cold virus . . . everywhere.
#9 Angie, how would you have accomplished that without reinforcing to her that she might not be the "most beautiful girl in the world" or has a challenged fashion sense? I don't intend that as a rhetorical question. Sometimes I look at a group and think that I'd like to "de-emphasize" a particular person. Then I feel ugly for thinking like that. What is my obligation as a photographer?? I don't mean to sound like someone else on this forum, but who am I to decide who's beautiful and should be in the front row, and who's a less desireable subject and should be relagated.

#2 the armpit is bugging me.
I thought that was what composition was? Arranging elements within the frame to bring out their beauty? Or lighting to minimize less flattering features or to emphasize the stunning ones. I don't think putting the orange dress elsewhere relegates her to an undesirable class, it might just mean she would better complete the composition elsewhere.
Well put.

Like your colors and post processing...very nice. I'm am wondering if the supposed hair band is the band that the florist used for the corsage...maybe...

Oh - I wasn't saying that she's not attractive, don't get me wrong (as a photographer - boudoir photographer especially - I see a lot of different body shapes and do believe that EVERYBODY is beautiful).
The most important thing is that we make everybody look good and that they like themselves in the photo. Now ... with her, I don't think she'll like the photo as much as she could. I am not saying that you need to put all bigger people in the back, but put her in a more strategic pose & position, to not underline their less (?) flattering features (who am I to say this is "less" flattering .. you know what I mean) ...
Also, all the girls are somewhat angled to the camera (with one of their shoulders closer to the camera, than the other one). Now ... the lady in orange is looking straight at you, ... again, it's just underlining her body figure and together with the arm on her hip she's just standing out of the group ... anyway. My 2 cents, there are lots of things one could do.
