New Model Brittany In The Creek

binghott · April 5, 2006

i had been shooting in the same location by my campus for several shoots because of the lack of a car here. luckily i found a new spot to shoot on campus: the creek. i'm not sure how i feel about this set yet, but there are definitely some really good shots that i'm happy with. here's just one for now, please tell me what you think. more will be posted soon.

thanks!

just a tad over-exposed, there's some detail missing in her face around her upper cheeks, mebbe not quite spot on with the focusing.
The good news is that's the only downside.

She's lovely, nice eyes, nice 'look/expression'. Nice pose. Nice tone - sort of yellow/brown.

I demand to see more.

A natural beauty. Love the warm tone. Well done Barry let's see more...

Hi, binghott
Very nice shot!
A tighter crop might even look better.
Keep up the good work.

Take Care,
Chuck,

I like it!
I agree the image is not perfect (as it's been noticed by the others, it's a bit blown out), but the general direction is very nice.

Got more?

Owen · April 6, 2006

Can someone point out where it's blown? I'm not seeing it.

gluwater · April 6, 2006

Nice shot Barry. I don't think it is blown but maybe slightly overexposed/processed. You may have lost a little detail in processing rather than the shot being over exposed. I also think she may be squinting slightly. All small things really, it is a great shot.

It's pretty bright on her left shoulder

thanks owen, that's what i was thinking.

thanks for the illustration gluwater, but i don't see the problem with the shirt being a bit blown out. does anybody else think it's overprocessed?

i wouldn't say she is squinting, but her eyes are definitely not relaxed. i thought her eyes are a little agressive almost, while her eyebrows and lips might seem friendly. i dunno, that's just how i felt.

thank you all so much for your comments! i'll be posting more soon!

I didn't mean the shot was overprocessed, but I guess that is what I said. What I meant was that sometimes when I am processing shots I inadvertently lighten highlights too much, especially when I'm using curves. That is what I meant by overprocessed, I guess I used the wrong word. Since the overall color scheme of the shot is darker colors, the lighter shirt may draw attention away from her face. I think it is really a matter of personal preferance. Personally I don't think I could take a shot this good. Looking forward to seeing more of her.

adrian_k · April 6, 2006

You two are far better than I'll ever be and mebbe it's my carp monitor but I'm just saying how I see it.

I just found the highlighted area too bright and lacking in detail - I'm not bothered about the shirt.

Exposure looks spot on to me. I dont see a thing I dont like. Nice shot.

I was having some problems finding the "blown out" portions as well - maybe my eye isn't as tuned in as the others but it looks great to me...

On my monitor it's perfect. I'm seeing good detail even in the lady's blouse. Perhaps there are a couple of spots that are a wee bit too white but so what, it's a good picture and the young lady is beautiful. Her complection is very fair but it's NOT overexposed and the saturation is very good.

As far as her eyes are concerned I have to ask "are we critiquing the picture or the model?" It seems to me that she has eyes that are not naturally open wide; again, so what, That's the way she was made and I think she was made pretty good

This bussiness of critiquing each other's work can get way too anal if you ask me. I once posted a shot of my avitar and some guy said that the background was too hazy. Well, I'll just have to have a good talk with Mother Nature and tell har to stop with the atmosphere in the morning already.

Never mind them Bro. It's a good picture.
