Really like #1!

BrettDeutsch

Yeah, all are nice, but #1 jumps off the screen.

reyvee61

Love what you've done with #1
Bravo!

+1 on #1. Love it!

I like #2, has magazine vibe to it IMO. Only little nit is that bit of her shorts poking out. I think the lines would be been cleaner if the sweater came down over it.
#3 is nice, but I think too far off into the orange. Has a candle-lit coloring to it, but no candles....

So it Seeems like everybody likes #1 best. They are all well done. Let's talk about the few minor things that could bring the other two up in the likes as number one. #2 The posing is fun. Her head is turned away from the camera just a little too much. Yes the tip of the nose is in the cheek line but there should be skin on the far side of the far eye. Also the hair on the far side by the face is distracting, it would be better clear. As far as the lighting a little bit of fill would give slight detail in the shadows. #3 Nice lighting. This photo begs us to see the other eye. The eyes are the window to the soul. The window is half open. Over all a good job. I bet she was happy.

Davidoff

Thanks everyone. This is interesting as I wasn't 100% sure on the first one. I see what you mean, I would prefer it if she'd worn skin coloured panties that she could cover up with the sweater.
In 3 I wanted to keep the warmness of the original raw, I think it complements her hair and freckles well.
Travel, thanks for the detailed pointers.

Love 1, two is a close second.

Davidoff

Thank you zoomer.

Hackbone

Nice!!

Bilsen

I like them all with # 1 as the standout. She's seriously pretty also.

Davidoff

Thank you, glad you enjoy them

I get the feeling 1 is more of a candid shot cause she knows her hair is kinda all over.

2 is beautiful....minor nit....if the hair had been pulled back more on the near cheek...about an inch, would probably have been even better. Beautiful model, do you have any more of her you can share?

By the way...at your website. Clicked on Portfolio and the options were not showing up properly for me.

Love two as is. Great work.

Yes, it is definitely a more relaxed pose. Her choice too
Thanks zoomer. From her ( brief ) shoot I only picked two, this one and the other at the beginning of the thread.

You probably don't need to click, just hover over portfolio. What browser are you using ? Is it working now ?

zoomer

No all I can see is COM and P from the options available under Portfolio.

Probably because my computer screen is small.

Davidoff

I'm so sorry you're experiencing that. What's your screen's resolution ? Does it happen frequently ?

tomnovy

Second one is a killer. Great work.

Davidoff

One more from the same shoot as 1, 2 and 5
