    Nice set. Apparently she has no teeth? Great light control, great scene/background control, although I'm not digging the foreground weed in 5. You make that Fuji look good. However I'm seeing a crazy red cast on 2 and 3? Re: 9, I was told on this forum that the leg closer to the camera should be the bent one, and having considered and tried that advice I agree with it.

    Ditto on the redness and some skin tones seem off unless that was your intent. ditto on the front leg bent. When you put all the weight on the front leg it thickens the hips.

    I am also seeing a red/purple cast in #s 2 & 3.

    #s 6, 7 & 8 almost killed me half to death. LOVE those two.

    Really interesting lighting in 5. I keep going back to it to see if I like it so I think that's a successful image. Laughing.gif

    #9 is just gorgeous lighting as is # 10 but in 10 she seems a bit stiff.

    The headshot is really nice but I wonder if you pulled back the exposure just a bit, would it better define her face? She is, of course, gorgeous.

    Thanks guys, on 2 and 3 went a little too far on color adjustment. It looked off but since I am red-green colorblind I couldn't tell what was wrong. I tend to edit pictures not on the series but what looks good for each pic. I liked the edit but the extra contrast threw off a red cast.

    On the leg bend and 9, it was a pose she was in I didn't notice at the time. However, I like how it brings out the muscles in her leg and the way it gives her curves. To me I see a strong looking woman and this was one she picked out as a favorite so I guess she likes it too.

    She has a great smile, we just were not going for the senior portrait look.

    Possibly, but I like red and blue in pictures. Her eyes and hair were what got my attention for this shot so I wanted more emphasis on her eyes and hair.

    In regards to her looking stiff in 10, I look at the pic and feel serene and calm, matching the environment around us. I guess it didn't work if you felt she looked stiff.
