Another go at one of this gal's shots. Still waiting to hear back from her on the shots she selected before I do full edits but I decided to do this shot. The last shot I posted was way overcooked.

    This is beautiful...I only wish she had a little bit more room above her head. Love the red lipstick and red background.

    Alex, there's just something about this pose plus high angle that doesn't work for me, and I can't put my finger on WHY. Normally I love a shot taken from slightly above, and the pose is theoretically a good one, but I can't quite pin down what makes it feel "off" to me. ne_nau.gif

    It feels like a pinup shot rather than model shot.

    Laughing.gif. Then I met my goal. The group has joined is a pinup model group. She wanted pinup style shots but her hair didn't really seem right to me. I tried my best to get that pinup feel and thought I failed. Apperantly I didn't. headscratch.gif

    I think the long pointed angle of the blouse opening is throwing off the general look. It competes
    with the face skin which should be the overall highlight.

    If there is a problem I think it's because this is a tweener shot. It's between a model portrait and pinup but not quite either one. The lighting is leans to pinup but there is a flirty attitude with pinup that isn't coming across.

    Holy smokes! Nice photo Cuban! Agree about the missing space above her head, other than that ... wowzer!
