Once we have covered early sunrise, we moved to the nearby canyons to get some different backgrounds.

    Another beautiful set Nikolai. And tha pictures ain't half bad neither.mwink.gif

    Seriously though, I have a bit of a problem with the shadows across her in #4. Other than that, I'll just sit quietly and admire.

    I could place her out of shadows, but I actually wanted the little effect of the foliage to remind the viewer about the surroundings... The original (nasty) effect was greatly minimized by the use of the reflector.

    The first looks like you were just having fun larking about, the second is my favourite -she has almost alabaster like skin tones, beautiful, I think that style would do well in other poses, perhaps more open , less covered ( not for here but privaqtely) she has the perfect skin tones (and body) for 'art'.
    the others looked far less efective but the ones on rock or stoney background look like they could go somewhere of you kept going.

    I think she'd benefit from being shot with some really strong (tonally and shape wise) rocks or a more even spread of stones (so there no other distracting element) i.e. I think the 'landscape' needs to be a strong as the model in beauty and especially tone, then you'd have some real stunners
