These were taken in Forest Park, St Louis. I did use a Flashpoint AD300 with the A7riii-35 GM combo and did my best to massage out any hotspots, especially on tip of her nose. A9ii-85 DG DN was natural light on this mostly overcast day.
CC welcome.

These are solid bro! I really love the location. The last is my fave, however, if I may ask...did you clone out or deaden the reflection in her eyes? I really like reflection because it because it gives the photo life and depth. The only reason I ask is because you said you flashed it.
No flash. I used flash with my A7riii. A9ii was natural light. I probably could have worded it better.
Thank you for the compliments.

Thank you. Sometimes I struggle to think outside the box but she and her mother were helping. Her mother is out figure skating coach and the subject is an accomplished figure skater and gymnast, so that probably helped.🙂

Dig the drops coming off her foot. Fun, creative and more dynamic than most folks I see shooting at that location.
The first one I love the location but none of the lines work for me. I'd love to see how this would look with a step back and to the right in order to level the lines at the top and create the leading lines centering her within the columns in the back. I'd consider cloning out the blown highlights in the top left window to match the right too as it's distracting.
Thank you. Points noted. I see what you are saying in 1 and 5. I did crop 5 and can see what you are saying. I might look at that again later. As far as 1 goes, I did try to straighten the architectural lines and lost her feet. I also shot having the other wing (without the chandelier) and captured her down the center.

I really like 2-4, great tones throughout.
The last one seems awkwardly framed or cropped.
