I love the way the sunlight highlights her hair in 6 and 7. Like a natural catch light. Great use of the natural lighting!

Nice set overall- #4 I think is too bright. And people tell me that I like things too bright haha.... I'm not on a calibrated monitor right now, but her face is almost white while the eye sockets retain color and some shadow, so the more I look at it, the more unflattering it is.

I like the real smiles you captured, and I like that many of the shots have an element of motion.

Fantastic set.

The only two I do not like are #1 (the hair across the face) and #4 (over-exposed)

Very attractive model. Nice location. Interesting poses. Light is nice on most (too harsh in 1 and 2 for me.)

Don't like the desaturated-color post-processing. Don't care for image 4.

Like the tossed hair in 7.

Nice B&W conversion on the last image.

TFS!

#4 is too bright and some odd colours appearing in her hair. Not the best expression either.

Like Andre, I don't favour the de-sat look, but others do.

I also didn't care for #1 - it's the hair, just too much for my taste.

Other than that, a fine set.

Jim thanks for the reply. I'm thinking 4 may need some revisiting. I do I have a B&W of #1 that I think might work better. Will post later from home. Thanks again!!

Some good book shots in the series. Lovely lady. There is a very airy feeling to the images ... quite open and refreshing.

Tony ! AHA You've got exactly what I'm trying after here ! I realize it's subjective , and trust me I do appreciate and try to learn from all the feedback . I try to expose most things to the right , do I go overboard sometimes ? sure I do . But that airy look is what I'm after . Thanks for taking the time to reply .

There are always 100 different ways to handle portraits like this and always yet another 20 nits to dissect so let the opinions and personal tastes fall where they may.

This is one of the most consistent and appealing sets I've seen in a long time. None of the images fall apart or are compromised in any meaningful way. They all tell the story and please the eye.

Is 4 overexposed for some people... sure. Kudos for observing it's bright. To my eye it's a beautiful, valid look and I enjoy it all the more so cradled amidst the other shots. And yes, I think it would be amazing in b&w.

I really love this set, manny. And the dog rocks.

Regards,

Chuck

Chuck , Thanks for the kind words , I know it's all subjective and some will like and other won't , heck that's life . I guess as long as I'm happy with what I'm trying to achieve and as long as agency and model are pleased then I'm golden .

Dog was great , loved him !!!
