    They are a little bit too processed for my taste, but only slightly.

    Overall I'm not sure about the picture. I mean I like it, but somehow the pose of her hands looks a little bit strange. Also, I find her necklace a bit distracting and I think a slightly lower angle would have been better.

    But I love the colours of this photo! Really nice!

    Is that sticking plaster on her right thumb? headscratch.gif

    I opened it up and went "Boy, she's pretty". You found yourself a good model. I really like her eyes myself- but I have been known to go overboard too.
    Everything is crisp and sharp and so wonderfully colorful- nice location. So, I guess that's why I too am drawn by the band-aid on her finger. Paper cut?
    Really good job, I hope you can post some more from the same shoot.

    ahhh! very pretty lady-

    and I think the photo is very good (not being as expert as others are in judging these things)-

    haha, that was the other reason i posted this picture. i wanted to know if the eyes were to sharp and if the bandaid was noticable. i didn't want to mention the bandaid because i wanted to know if you would see it without me mentioning it. now i know i'm going to have to try and avoid it in my other shots.

    you will be seeing a lot more of ally within the next week or so.

    thanks again and any more comments would be appreciated!

    I think she's one of your best models to date.

    I am getting tired of the overhead shot... time to get low dude, get low!

    Nice model, but I have to agree with Owen. Your overhead style needs a rest. I don't really find it flattering with your pretty young models.

    Her hands are a bit distracting, it looks like someone asked her to hold her sweater tie. There is not enough seperation from her dark sweater and the dark background on the left. An accent or hair light on that side would have really made the image pop. The bandaid I assume was intentional?

    Her eyes look a bit processed. Eyes are so easy to over do. They actually seem too glossy, like she just finished smoking something she should not.

    Overall a good photo, I enjoyed viewing it.

    thanks owen, i assure you she did not.

    the bandaid was unintentional, but i intentionally posted a picture with the bandaid in it to see how noticeable it was.

    btw, i looked back through the set and realized i had a ton of downward angled shots. i just love the way it makes model's eyes pop. next shoot i'll try to kick the habit, cold turkey.

    anyway, here is another shot of ally. this was on the side of the barn that i posted in the field and street forum. please tell me what you think!

    I don't get it... as in, I don't get why her hand is in motion. Doesn't add anything to the photo. Otherwise, that's a great photo, super color! Even though she's relatively small in the frame, her colors pop out on that barn. Well done.
