    I think I like what I see, but it would be much easier to provide the C&C you're looking for if the size of the files were a bit bigger and size of watermark a bit smaller... ne_nau.gif

    I like these-- nice blend of strobe and ambient light. I do, however, like the third shot the best of these-- it's more unique than the others. The surroundings and model seem to really compliment each other in that staircase shot.

    One comment-- you might want to raise your WL just a little bit in the first shot-- that will help get the nose shadow a little lower and a little more natural looking.

    Also, hopefully you kept shooting after the sun set... sometimes the sky really gets crazy beautiful in those moments after the sun gets beyond the horizon.

    Pretty model, pretty location, nice use of lighting-- I'd love to see more!

    They're mediocre, I dont like the posing of the model at all... it seems too artificial. Note to self, never pose around the sun... it just looks wierd. Some of the best sunset shots incorporate it into the shot, without making it look so posed.
