Daughter of some friends of ours...she is trying to get into some modeling and needed some shots to work with.
Added a very slight blue tint to the first one.
The third shot...normally I don't like the locked in look like that and centered pretty much. But she has those crazy blue eyes that kind of freeze you so I think it works in that one....opinions?

    She is one beautiful kid Zoomer. Crazy piercing eyes.

    If she has the stats she should have a decent shot at modelling.

    Like all three but I'd be curious to see # 2 in color.

    As to # 3, if she's going to be centered, which is fine, how about trying a square crop and see how it looks. I do square on a lot of headshots.

    Nice work. I'm a sucker for vignetting to draw the viewers eye into the subject, would love to see more of that on these.

    The blue tint really plays up the eyes and outfit nicely. #2 is classic although intiially I found the tangle of grafitti next to her hand a little bit distracting (now I'm not so sure). The last one is a knockout but I don't think it needs the eyes sharpened that aggressively.

    Nice work. I really like #3. I do find the shadow on her neck created by the ear ring slightly distracting.

    I really like them - agree #3 could use a touch of/more vignetting. The skin in #2 and #3 looks a hair overprocessed to me. Not a lot, just a teeeeensy bit. They are gorgeous, though. I think she'll be pleased!

    Good grief she's hot... You would really have to go out of your way to ruin these with processing or composition. I think the prettier the girl, the more creative "headroom" you have to work with. I like all of them, but #3 is off-the -hook.
