Used a fan and one 500 watts in front and one in the back. What you think?

I think you did a fine job here for the most part. There is something about the smile I'm not sure about. Looks a little scared maybe. I took your photo one step ferther and would like to post it and tell you what I did with it but won't post it without your permission first. Let me know. I only wish to help and give you more ideas to work with. I think that is what we all are here for anyway (-:

I think you did a good job for the most part! I would suggest shooting eye level or slightly above eye level for most women though.... just a bit more flattering to the majority of women.... I like the backlighting and she has beautiful eyes!
edit for grammer

Ok, a few things come to mind. The camera angle: above the nose, I don't like looking up at te subject, seeing too much nostrils is unflattering, and her chin looks too big and undefined. Also, get her to smile! Nice photo, nice depth.

I really like the lighting of the hair, it highlights a sense of motion.
She has very beautiful blue eyes; I wonder if you could use clothes of that color instead of the current one, the whole picture would have, so to speak, a nicer color harmony. Just my 2 cents, it's a good picture as is! |

| Really great shot, has anyone mentioned her eyes yet? if not they're GORGEOUS! the lighting is very well done as well, and the motion from the fan is wonderful. I would like to see more of a smile though... never understood the whole thing about models not smiling.... |

First off I don't claim to be an expert at Photoshop but I have done a lot of reading and practice and my clients seem to like what I have done for them. First I thought the face should be a little more smooth so I added about raduis 10 gaussian blur to just her face and neck area (Layer via copy). I then reduced the opacity of that layer about 80%. This left the skin a little smoother. I used the eraser tool on that layer around her eyes and lips to keep those areas nice and sharp. I wanted to bring out those eyes a little more so I darkened around the eyes. Also added a little red around her cheaks. Very slightly darkened the shadow on the side of her face. Thats it and here was what I came up with.

Also as stated by other posts, the angle is wrong and I think she should stand sideways about 45 degrees from the camera. Also think it would look better as a portrait layout

| I think you need to work on your conposition and camera angles, the idea is good, and the exposure is acceptable but as a whole the shot really does not feel very glamourous. |

| Great subject - needs a little more attention on the composition. Definitely at a higher angle - the lights should be slightly higher so her face will look like she has more of a chin instead of flat. Try turning her body on an angle and have her turn her head with a slight tilt would be great (just to get rid of some of the ridgedness) Love the light in the back. Try more of a portraite style photo - she looks a little cut off - Love her eyes!!! If you get to shooting try some camera angles as well - often a cool effect... Most of all have fun - :P |
