First shoot.....the LOOK!!!

Comment by McCarlie:
You should have brought the light closer to the subject (or you could have used something like a bed sheet to diffuse the light, or both), to reduce the sharpness of the shadow cast on the back wall.

Hmmm, I see where you were going on this one. I think the most distracting element to me is the very hard shadows, especially on the face.

Cute girl! It might've been better without the flash shadow on the backdrop.

Comment by sweetbread:
The shadows in this shot are overwhelming. Her outfit is dirty at the knees and her eyes are not showing which is very important for a modeling agency to see. Looks like she would like to be a model though but I have to give this shot a 3.

Sorry to say it but unfortunately those harsh shadows will never get you a good vote.

Lighting is way too harsh for my taste, try either a bigger lightsource or having the model further away from the backround.

Nice crop, nice exposure. The only thing bothering me is the reflection on the nose. Nice picture. Thanks for sharing!!

Come into my Garden

LOnnieD - thank you so much for putting down your steps in processing this delightful composition. It makes my job much easier.

Now, the first thing that I noticed in this composition was the gray sky. Probably not what you hoped a viewer would see. But there it was. When this sky is cropped out, you still have a fine composition which shows off the entryway and the garden quite nicely. It also makes a strong feature of that pleasant peaked roof in the background. Then, if, indeed, you bring your crop in on the sides to show just those topiary trees in the foreground, it also accentuates the entrance nicely.

Just thoughts. there are so many ways to look at an image, especially one as nice as this one is.

Nice to see your work again. I'll look forward to seeing more.
