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.
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
Doug
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.
