    Nice light. I do notice that the backdrop is not 100% ok as he paper is not really flat, but then again the model is the most important element. The best one is 3.thumb.gif

    I was wondering if anyone would notice that. I'm bothered by it as well and have looked at a couple of solutions in post but so far I'm not pleased with any of them.

    Hmm. I liked it better before you "fixed" it. Looked less studio-ey to me.

    I liked the texture, depth and shade differences of the original. If the wrinkles bother you, I'd try a bit of blur instead.

    Love the crop and tones of 1 & 3, very, very nice. Not big on the crop and pose of #2.

    That's exactly why I make an alternate version for the client so they can have it either way :D

    Thanks Charles, I had asked my wife to look at image #2 to see if you could spot anything unusual and of course she didn't but I feel as if the crop on her legs is not appealing but unfortunately I have no space to change it and a tighter crop didn't make sense either. Is that also where the crop feels off to you?

    On a side note, viewing image two (original) on a lower res screen such as the one I use at work makes it look far more appealing than it does on my display at home.
