I'm very new to Shooting humans but I am doing my best to learn. Thanks for having a look.

    Like 4 and 6 the best..
    4. Like the pose. Skin highlights are a bit too bright. It would have been better to get the other hand in frame somehow. Maybe if she'd placed it on her stomache at the bottom of the frame?
    6. Like the pose again but you chopped her toes off!

    I also like the smile in 1 but the angle is a bit too weird for me..

    All IMHO of course..

    I'm a big fan of number 3. Like the pose and LOVE the light. I would however really like to see her eyes brightened a bit.

    Nice set.

    Like 3 the most. Great pose. 4 & 6 I just have an issue with the hair.

    1 - Good. Her skin looks like porcelain. I would have moved to camera left just a tad so her nose is not breaking the line of her cheek.. more flattering and you'd get more of her face in the shot.

    2 - Nice attempt. What if she would have brought her right hand up to the blinds, as if she was peeking through? I think this would have added more interest to the composition... I don't like that her arm is just hanging there. It would avoid cutting off her hand too.

    3 - Best of the bunch. What focal length did you shoot this at? Looks like her head is a little long/wide on top. Could be the hair that is fluffed but it could also be lens distortion.

    4 - This shot has potential. She small enough to get away with shooting her shoulders square like that, but have both arms touching her side doesn't work. If she had her right arm up and bent over the top of her head, the shot would rock IMO.

    5 - Shoulders too square... I think it's the shirt... it adds volume to her torso. Looks like a linebacker. Shoulders look way too wide.

    6 - Good shot and pose. Just watch for the eyes... she's looking too much out of the corner of her eyes. There is no white between her iris and the corner. Turn her head slightly to her right so she's doesn't have the beady-eye look.

    Hope that helps. I usually don't like to nit shots like this because I'd hate for people to get discouraged. You did a fine job for not shooting people. Just some ideas on how to improve.

    Thank you for all the input. It is very helpful and I will try to employ some of the suggestions next time I shoot.

    Like this set a lot.

    # 3 seems to have distorted her face a bit. Her nose is not that wide in the other images.

    4 & 6 are my favorites even with her toenails cut off.mwink.gif

    Nicely done.
