    This is a terrific set, Joel. Btw, I TELL my clients to bring loads of clothes to a shoot!!!

    2 & 6 are tied as my favorites, and the only one I don't love is 5 - not sure if you tried to recover some overexposure or are playing with a processing technique but it doesn't work for me.

    Love the posing and energy!

    Thanks, Diva! #6 was actually the only un-posed shot. We were done with the shoot and she was just cracking up about something. Those are always the best, aren't they?

    On #5, definitely not overexposed. Quite the contrary. It was actually fairly flat and I added a lot of contrast to give it some *pop*. Perhaps I overdid it. headscratch.gif

    Love 6, she looks transformed in that one with her personality coming out. Pretty model. Like 1 also.

    love 'em!
    #5, though.. I wouldn't keep it.
    expression is not flattering to her or content of the image.. and her right eye needs correcting.

    Wow... I say WOW! :stud

    An amazing set! bowdown.gif

    I am partial to number two. Everything about it and the fact that I'm really into the retro pin up type look you've captured here. The movement and detail is superb!

    Thanks folks! Consider #5 dumped. It was an experiment gone awry I guess. I'm glad I posted it though otherwise I wouldn't have known.

    Bryce, I've been getting into the whole pin-up look lately as well. Fun stuff!

    I was thinking Madonna too. Like 1, 5 and my favorite 6. In order it would be, 6-1-5. It is contrasty in 5 but it is different and I like it.

    And to think when I first met you - you would have said no way in hell would you being these types of shoots!!

    Really nice Joel. I like #4 and #6 the most out of this set.

    Nice dog. Only one I don't like is 5. Seems really harsh to me.

    Everything else, and the model are just gorgeous with 3&4 for the win.

    Really nice set... Kudos ...
    - I'm reading a lot of people want to toss 5... And in its current condition I would agree...
    That said...
    What about lightening that rascal up a bit and lessening the contrasto ... Especially on her bicep ... Maybe do a pinup style with it...
    Anyway.... its Just a thought...

    Came back for another look Dog.

    Another vote to toss 5 but a lot of love for 3 & 6 and I'm liking 2 & 4.

    When a model gives me the face in #1 , I ask her if we're making a hostage tape. i'm also not crazy about the flat back of both hands.

    Not a fan of 1 & 4. On 1 there is too much flesh competing with the face, she does have great "piano" fingers. Could have been used close into the face to lessen those long arms. Don't like the looking up her nose in 4. I really like the rest especially 5. That is a great workup, maybe a title would help the expression? 3 is screaming for a Robert Alvarado "dot"
