My Ticket to Glamour!

This is cute and fun. Not exactly what I'd think of when the word "glamour" is mentioned as a challenge theme. Nonetheless, you've done a nice job of capturing this moment photographically from a technical standpoint. Good luck in the challenge.

This is fun and well executed overall. Maybe a bit static/generic.

Hmmm. This could work well for a jewelry ad I guess. Not that comfortable classifying it as "glamour". I like the comp. You positioned the bud of the rose and the ring strategically. Lighting is a bit flat and one dimensional. All JMO of course. Good luck.

Yes! I love this. Wonderful pose, clever attire, and processed with skill. Only minor nit is the shoulder may be a little hot, but you've controlled it in post pretty well. Good luck in the challenge. One of my top picks for sure.

Nice studio shot that is quite funny. I'm not sure, but I think most in this challenge will be looking for a more serious "glamour" shot. Good luck.

I like the earrings! :-)

Seriously, not sure what happened here, but there's a ton of noise in the hair (underexposed and brought up in post maybe?) and the eyes/mouth (lower lip) seem to be selectively sharpened a bit too much.

Regarding the composition...I can't really get comfortable with the angle/lean.

Darn kids anyway. Next time I'll be sure to holler "WAIT, Line UP...PLEASE!". :-D

Ok, I'll buy this as a "glamour" shot. The first one I've seen that's taken the creative approach (meaning without a head shot or person) and done it well. Nicely done! Good luck. 8 from me.

...yes, this one's new. I just adopted her from Canada...

Looks like a New Year's Eve family photo. If you'd give this a healthy shot of contrast I think it would pop a bit more...seems flat as is. Also, the girls dress pattern looks like digital "noise" at first glance.

Attractive model. Makeup is a bit over the top. Ring is overly staged. The comp feels a little tight at the top. All that being said, you'll probably still do "ok" with this as it's one of the better shots that hit the "glamour" theme. Skin tones are good, lighting is right on the money, and the subject is in focus. All JMO of course. :-) Good luck.
