    Number four is my favorite, though I also like the one where she is holding the cell phone.

    Your lighting looks great on these, Yuri. Only suggestion would be to snap a couple extreme close-ups of her eyes-- which are simply dazzling. Nice work. thumb.gif

    iloveyou.gif #8 the most. Everything about it.
    #7 the eyes thumb.gif the lighting and #3 also


    #2 my eyes get sucked to the bright spot on her chest

    most of the women I know do not seem to just wear eye makeup to make their eyes pop. I will have to keep some in my camera bag. mwink.gif

    Love #6 and #8. thumb.gif
    Not so much the rest (except #7). ne_nau.gif
    #7 would join the "winning couple", but that cell phone... :cry
    Man, do not ever let your model hold anything next to her mouth... deal.gif

    Hi Yuri,

    She has very striking eyes and facial features... My favorite is definitely #6. Great pose, composition, eye contact and post processing.

    Very nice...

    Thanks for sharing...

    Yuri,
    how do I say it... as you drift more and more towards formal photography I think you need to take more control over the shots, like in the #7 for example. Drop that phone and you have a winner, while with it the phone becomes ever annoying element of the photo.

    Also, I really like #3. It probably is the best in the series. However, when you have someone with such striking facial features you need to study their face. If #3 had similar angle of face to #7 it would be even better.

    Finally there is #8, again that awful chair ruins a photo which otherwise had a lot of potential.
