Esther On The Beach

i've been swamped in this high school fashion show i shot this weekend so i haven't posted anything new for a couple of days. i'll be posting some of those soon too.

for now, these are pictures of my friend/model, esther. we shot at the same beach that i shot alessandra, only this time i had a reflector to work with, thanks to 4labs for giving me a reflector stand and tripod to hold it! the shoot got cut short because it started to rain and i left my kata rain cover at home. i'll probably post some more soon, but these are two that i'm happy with.

what do you think?

The second one is excellent!

The first she looks a bit tense. I like the second a lot though.

Glad you are putting my stuff to good use. I like em both. I think in the first the way she is holding her hands and her facial expression show that she is tense but I don't see anything wrong with that..

I think the pose on the second shot captures a nice, sassy personality. Quite fun! I find the eyes on the first picture a little too much, like the whites of her eyes are glowing. Perhaps toning that down might help.

Cheers,

thanks guys i really appreciate the comments. i'm thinking she would look more relaxed if she maybe had her hands up on the chains and her shoulders were lower. i think it might be her shoulders that seem tense. her eyes look so white because of the reflector, i didn't touch those up, but they might possibly be too white.

i like the second shot more every time i see it. i don't know why, but i didn't really like it at first, but now i'm starting to love it.

thanks again for your great comments!

I also like both. I find the expression and pose of the first one more interessting, but I second the poster that mentioned the eyes. On my screen they look a bit to white in relation to the face. I have been sure that you overdid them in postprocessing, but now I read that you did nothing to them. Amazing!
