The first picture you posted is my favorite. Lovely eyes in the first two pictures. I'm not too sure about the third one. Seemed a little dark to me. Excellent snaps nonetheless.

I like #'s 2 and 3. Great eyes!
Although the shoes are quite endearing in #1. That's a nice pose, but I'm drawn like a bug to candlelight by those stunning eyes.
Satisfying shoot, I bet it was.

Thanks for sharing.

Nice shots... I would love to see you 'mood up' the last one by making it a very contrasty b&w... I find her normal attire is very much at odds with the look on her face. I think you could do some neat things with it in B&W!

the first is my fave, though!

I like the first shot but I think you should lose the sky. It's to bright compared to the rest of the shot and doesn't add anything to it. I think overall they are a bit dark.

Also, she is clenching her hands, which is not a very feminine appearance. Try to get her to relax the hands into a more natural position.

I also agree with the comments about her eyes, they are splendid.

Thanks everyone!
Is this crop better?

I also liked this one, but wasn't sure on how to crop it, ideas?

Giselle

I think I like a 10" x 8" crop best on this one.

I also did a little:

Dodge on her face, to lighten it up.
Burn and Clone tool on some of the rails in the background.
Curves adjustment, to lighten the middletones a bit. I kept the shadows and highlights pretty much as they were.

Thanks Zig! I like your edits much better, I will try it on the original.

Nice shots. I like them.

Hi, Giselle
I like 1 & 2 the best.
Photo 4 seams to have a glow around her head like she was added to the background or something.

Take Care,
Charles Cassidy,

the contrasty b&w makes me think she belongs in the nine inch nails video, 'the perfect drug'. I really dig it!

Number 3 is my favorite, the key is the eyes! Nice job.

Take Care,
Charles Cassidy,

The glow is caused from Houston humidity, frizzy hair!

Giselle

Thanks everyone for your comments, she does have amazing eyes. When I first met her, her hair was a darer red...I was so diappionted when I saw she lighted it, the darker color really made her eyes pop even more.

Giselle

BTW, I noticed the stars on some of the threads, what is that about?

Giselle,

If you look at the top of any thread, you will find a "Rating" drop-down. Anyone can rate a thread for interest or whatever. I think it's considered bad form to rate your own thread however.

Best,

Then you just whisper, "Psst. Hey ziggy! Would you mind bumping me some stars?"

If I'm semi-coherent enough to understand the request, I might oblige.

Good work, now finish the job a little bit of post processing is all it takes. See the Pop Tutorials, here

just a quick example, on your low-res attached file.

Ohhhh Nooo, I got a pitty rating! I wasn't hinting! (but I'll take it:D )

Wow, that looks so much better! Between you post processing and Ziggy cropping I could cut down on my time in front of the computer, too bad it's not hi res images.:D

Very Pretty...
She's a very lovely young woman.
