    Fascinating, this thread went a whole day, and a lot of visitors, without comment.

    Awesome models and very nice lighting. I'm partial to brunettes, so the first young lady has my blood pressure up. thumb.gif

    I'm not terribly fond of the glassware props, except maybe the last, but then it interferes with the view of her feminine assets. (... err, I mean it is more of a distraction.)

    The hood is too close to her hair color to work well as an accessory in the last image.

    #2 and #4 are my personal favorites, mostly because of the posing, expression and composition.

    I like the lighting best in the last image, but the lighting in #6 is awfully nice also.

    I would like to see #5 in "natural" color. I think I would like it better than the selective color shown.

    Altogether much better than I could do. clap.gifclap

    You realy make my photography better and I need your comments and critique so much!
    Again Thank You, Ziggy.
    You know I write short poems (SMS mostly) from time to time...
    So let me try it in English....

    ...I've done this subtle... Who can dig it?

    Yuri, Не скажите любое еще, но я имею предложение дела, и планирую для нас. Мы положили совместно мастерскую фотоего, с вами как диктор premier, и инструктор. Мы представим счет оно как: "Русская Красотка" Секреты reveled! Раз в возможности продолжительности жизни работать с photographer портрета premier России, Yuri Pautov. Идут с Yuri по мере того как он не объясняет все никогда перед показанными секретами к находить, и фотографировать слова большинств красивейшие женщины. Передайте все детали к мне. Я арендую плоскость, и записываю участников. Мы сделаем умерщвление. (пикосекунда: Я надеюсь вы может перевести вс это.) Sam :D

    For our monolingual friends:
    Yuri,

    Don't tell anyone else, but I have business proposition, and plan for us.

    We put together a photo workshop, with you as the premier speaker, and instructor. We will bill it as:

    “Russian Beauty”

    The secrets reveled!

    A once in a lifetime opportunity to work with Russia’s premier portrait photographer, Yuri Pautov.

    Go with Yuri as he explains all the never before revealed secrets to finding, and photographing the words most beautiful women.

    Leave all the details to me. I will rent the plane, and book the participants.

    We will make a killing.

    (Ps: I hope you can translate all this.)

    Count me in! Yuri, your models are beautiful! :D

    One comment-- on one of the photos you've cropped right across the bust/breasts. It's usually better to either include 'em or crop above them-- it's just more compositionally pleasing to the eye for some reason. Nice shots here though.
