Unquestionably the most difficult shoot I've ever done in terms of picking the 15 final shots to put in her feature. I had over 80 frames make the final processing cut, so narrowing it down to 15 is torture - I've still not made the final decision. :scratch



(PS: no output sharpening yet. I'm biting the bullet and upgrading from using USM to Nik, and I'm not quite done with the learning curve yet)

Tough case, no questions!
Shooting contre-a-jour is never easy. I had trouble with it soooo many times...
I don't know how to make this shot technically better without some heavy masking work and separate processing for the body and for the background
Will be very cusrious to see what you'll end up with in this shot - maybe along with alittle story how you did it (I mean processing :-)

BTW - nice model!

I don't think this one should make the cut. Her expression isn't seductive or hot, at all, it's more of a "confused" almost mid-expression look.. If you're going to pull off chain-link and little to no clothes the expression really has to match, and you're clearly not going for a fashion-esque photo here, it's really softcore porn. I would also drop down the brightness so she isn't blown out - which is preventable. The white background with chainlink infront works, though.

There is something about the expression I really like.

I'm sure the majority of the participants here wouldn't appreciate a ton of scantily-clad women posted to this forum. I try to post just one, and usually one that has a challenge in order to get some constructive feedback.
