    These are good!

    FWIW -

    #1 I really like the first one - seems to show a lot of personality. Like the colorization of the ring.
    #2 Crop some/all of her legs out of the image.
    #4 Crop this just above the break between the her top and her pants. A little distracting.

    Oh, and forgot to mention that the fill light on the outdoor shots looks, to me, to be spot onthumb.gif

    Great project, Scott. On your B&W's it looks like you left lots of room on the right side of your histogram. IOW, they're slightly underexposed. Easy to fix in post.

    i really like #1, but i'm not a fan of the selective coloring of the ring.

    I would crop closer on the last one, but I also really like the first one.

    The shots are technically good, your fill flash is excellent, she's a pretty girl but..

    "she didn't want the same ole traditional photo like everyone else gets so we took a shot a something different."

    I don't see anything different about these, though. Nothing edgy, nothing making them stand out. ne_nau.gif Also, I would work on her skin, as it appears a bit ruddy in most, especially the B&W shots. Don't make her fake, but atleast make these photos something she wants to remember and keep for the rest of her life. I would go for more contrast on the B&W shots, too. Make them stand out!

    This guy is amazing, and he uses the same gear you do.
