Look slike to much post-processing to me, or someone set your camera on VGA mode... I'd keep them just because they're good for "this is what happens when you ____". She's a keeper, though.
Your original shots of Lauren that you did at the time were 100% better processed. They look as you have copied them off glossy prints. Sorry Jay, back to the tutorials.
Seems to me your post processing needs attention...these are very, very noisy and quite drab on my monitor...I suspect there were too many pixels thrown away somewhere along the PP trail. The girlfriend, is terrific...
A pretty girl, but #2 shows that she's really starting to pack on the pounds. I know that the majority of women are big-legged girls, but is that what you want you show in your model? #3 is a better composition even if it is out of focus.
This is such a hysterical comment from you. Lauren, starting to pack on the pounds?
Oh please! She is in excellent shape and has no weight problems, whatsoever. I just had to respond to your post.
Can I second that?
Furthermore, to me this forum is where you comment on the techniques, not on the shape of the models...
