Simply a great set no need to go any further. She is an attractive gal with not the thinnest body but you did an incredible job of posing and framing her, positively outstanding. Compliments to her also for knowing what clothes, for the most part, show her off. They have got to love this set.

Hi Victor,

What kind/how extensive of a critique commentary are you looking for? I dig this session and the technique you used. Also, if you're looking for more in-depth critique maybe you could edit the post to number the images?

Don't know about the processing but could go along with the whole old fashioned theme and about all the flare but overall these are great.
Nice job

42 and 48 are by far my favorites

I think one of your lenses is flaring a bit, might want to get a lens-hood

Ok, Flarefest nonwithstanding (I likes me sum flare too!) I like the consistent look to the images, they definitelly give a nice story-feel.

I think the couple is a bit stiff in many of those, but just for the record... that's not something that doesn't happen routinely to me as well... i'm just assuming you want some honest C&C is all.

18 is a pose I see fairly frequently and time and time again it fails. I think yours does too. I've never managed to shoot THAT and not get a fail ... in fact if anyone has a WIN on that pose I'd LOVE to see it, 'cause I have to assume it would be very sexy if it actually worked.

ok fine... let's do a mini rundown (I'm going to skip quite a few)

2. I like this. It violates 87 of the 91 cardinal rules of photography but I still dig it

4. Not sure the contast of expressions works for me... but I do give you high marks for trying

5. his hand looks stiff, give him something to do

6. sweet moment

7. his face oof and the foreground foliage doesn't work for me here

8. This one on the other hand WORKS VERY WELL!!!

9. I like it

10. love his smile/gaze, preferred the pov in 9

11. works

12. works ... better

13. doesn't do it for me as cropped, I'd cut more of the bottom. Her legs look good here

14,15. his expression doesn't do it for me

16. I am the magical jumping dolphin... that or the crooked oriental bellydancer... either way it'll crack them up I'm sure but does nothing for me ... of course I'm not paying a dime!

17. dig the moment... I'd 2:1 it

19. I like it... but I can't accept the missed opportunity to get their shadow on the floor

20. I like it! Cool flare filter

23. doesn't do it for me in a few ways: mildly suggestive, mildly implied-nude-ish, expression dissonance doesn't work for me here, knee crop and knees not flattering to her

24. this much better than 23

25,26,31,32 - fun times

27 - nice

28 - how about a 1:1 crop with her offset to the right of the frame? It's a good shot!

29 - was your recycle bin full?

30 - see 29

33,34 - uhm... ok. I see there were other humans in the vicinity!

35 - this is AWESOME! I am totally stealing this... <right-click!>

36 - <evil laugh> and now you have given away the secret!!! ha ha ha </evil laugh>

37 - it's a nice moment but ...

40 - is VERY flattering of her legs... clone out the handrail

42 - I already said above that this is one of my 2 faves... Leading lines, nice B/W interesting architecture, great posing (her anyway) and great interaction - WIN!!!!

43 - proof that sometime you have to take more angles to get THE SHOT. this one isn't it... 42 is

44 - proof that sometime you can get something else of interest out of a great shot. This is sexy to me... dunno why (well I mean his hand is on her thigh and she's got some black-see-through going on... who am I kiddin'?)

45 - bleh (but she'll prolly like it)

48 - my 2nd fave (prolly not theirs AT ALL)

49 - bent knee seems a bit contrived, I otherwise dig the setting and processing.

uhh... 30 is my favorite shot of all these. otherwise there is some decent critique in there that i appreciate, albeit slightly over the top. you have to understand that there are a lot of stylistic choices here.

also, i take the lens hood off

42 is really nice. Composition and Post processing ...

I would clone out the people in the backgroud.

Great set overall.

The over the top was intentional for humor. Set's great... I mean go through my critique and assign the implied "WIN/FAIL" and consider that I usually expect a session that generates 5 great images to be a WIN... so you've way more than exceeded that mark

I still can't believe that 30 is your favorite, but I like it that way because your favorite vs. my C&C definitely reinforces the concept that different strokes for different folks...

on the other hand it's kind of freaky... I mean especially if it's REALLY your favorite.. because it makes me wonder if I've ever cut an image from a set that would have been the client's FREGGIN FAVORITE.

For the record, here's why I don't dig 30...

1. his right hand is amputated by the crop
2. their hands together are also chopped
3. his expression looks like he was midsentence
4. her expression is hard to decypher due to lack of contrast but it looks like a tight-lipped semismile
5. crop @ top is tangential to her, chops his hat
6. centered composition

That said I love the light in the shot, and I like the contrast ratio between the subjects and the background, but not enough to overcome 1-6 above

And no I didn't add this to somehow stomp on your fave... I'd really be interested in your thoughts on those items and/or your assessment of why 30 is your fave... I really am somewhat concerned right now that I MAY BE deleting potential favorites here... help a man out, willya?

Ciao!

P.S. And the hood thing was totally TIC... I takes the Hood off too

lol yeah I didn't take out anything that they would like. believe me.

30 is my "personal" favorite because it reconnected me clearly with the atmosphere at the time and made me remember exactly what was going on, and it wasn't set up or anything (duh)... it put a smile on my face.
