My Simple Suggestion: When posting several images in a thread like this, put a number between each LINK as you paste it into your thread. That way each will be numbered. That makes it easier to discuss a certain image and comments will come easier that way.
Also...I recommend against posting large wide shots side by side.
Many people view the net on smaller monitors and may miss your images out to the right and may also not like horizontal scrolling.
It also makes it more difficult to segregate the comments to a particular image.
mmm not working much for me. Attractive model..but underexposed on a few. #3 stands out as the best of the bunch...no distracting shadow. Also a bit on the soft side...but that could be my laptop monitor.

Which ones are underexposed? They are def sharp, for some reason they are always soft when I host them on photobucket.
Hello, when I saw these photos, with the exception of shot no. 3 (the one with read background), my thought was "what a pity about those shadows". I'm thinking, perhaps a second strobe to wash out those shadows would have transformed those shots from good to great?
Very pretty model and with more attention to exposure, lighting and composition your going to be ok. Every single shot is mis-exposed. You have a combination of underexposure and blown shots. Sit down and take a look at the histograms of each shot and see the left or right shift and your camera lcd is showing you where you have blown highlights. You are also making classic mistakes by taking a picture of a light/white dress against a bright sky, a black dress against a black background. You can only pull that off with lighting and careful exposure. Your composure is off, too much background, busy busy, and the model dead center in the middle of every shot. Most of these could be made better in PP and with cropping but not made perfect, you need to go back to basics at time of capture. Don't fret, pretty model, nice dresses and shoes, settings that could work with more careful framing and exposure, so all is not lost here. Try to cleanup in PP and go back and shot some more.
Hmm... Pretty model... but like in #1, it seems like she is OOF... Then there is the underexposure, framing, and harsh shadows that others talked about. Another thing I would add is also change the pose a bit, hands don't always have to be on the sides. However, keep those legs stretched because she's got killer long legs!
hmm, my screen must need to be adjusted because the exposure is dead on and even in lightroom the highlights and shadows are right where they need to be. I did one light because I like the shadows. But to each there own. Thanks for the comments so far.
