This is my 1st times using 120 film (except the 1st picture use DSLR). Luckily the result seems better than what I expected. Your comment are welcome.

    It looks like you did a fine job getting a good exposure under some fairly difficult lighting conditions. Great job. The young lady is very attractive and your shots bring that out very well.

    I think the last 2 are a little too centered for the amount of space in the frame that she occupies. Perhaps if you want to show her in a beautiful setting, moving her to one of the thirds intersections would work a bit better.

    In any case, beautiful portraits of a very pretty girl.

    congrats.

    wave.gif Hiya, Himalayan. Or is that hima, Hiyalayan? :D

    I love #2. Great composition, light, model, setting, Very nice. Shirt might be a wee bit hot.

    In #3, I like that she's small in the middle of the weeds, it's a nice effect. She's surrounded, so the idea works for me. Nice work making her a bit brighter than her surroundings.

    And just to be contrary, the same idea in #4 doesn't work for me, she just looks small.

    I really like your choice of settings, and the colors. As Greaper said, shooting in bright sunlight can be overwhelmingly difficult, so it's not surprising that some parts of #1 and #2 are too hot. I don't mean to be critical, these really are lovely photographs. Does she like them?
    Sid.

    Great workup Himalayan. You didnt have alot of wardrobe, you werent (I'm assuming) using reflectors or diffusers. All in all I would have to say as far as layouts go, this is a pretty good set. You never got any shadows that overcast your target, white outside anyway (what ya gonna do) didnt blow out that bad. If I ever line up a shoot where you are in Canada I'd love to have you come along and shoot. Good work!thumb.gif

    Ok, is she single? Willing to relocate to Austin? Enjoy fine wine?

    Oh, and the pictures are pretty good too. :) I like how you layer some of the vegetation between the subject and the camera, shooting through the scene. Very nice.
