		Hey Guys,
 
 Just upgraded from a Fuji s5000 to an Olympus E-300. Took some pictures of my girlfriend for her modeling portfolio and was suitably impressed with my results.
 
 Just really wanted you guys' opinions on them. Things I could do better, etc.
 
 Photos are as follows..
 
 1. 
 
 2. 
 
 3.

		I like your soft lighting, but kinda wish you had a bit more light on the face.  Maybe a reflector opposite the light?

		| I like the photos a lot but I'm finding them a little too dark! I would prefer to see a little more light on her! |

		| I would have liked a little extra light however I wanted the black background and was shooting onto a blue surface and didn't want to do too much post-processing to remove the background. Possibly yes like idnic said a reflector on the opposite side wouldn't have changed the image too much but shed a little extra light on the right. |

		| I like them except for the fact that they are too dark. |

		Yeah, like others have said, they are too dark.  In none of them can I really see her well.  I wouldn't abandon the shadowy feel, just bump up the ligting a little.

		| 3.  This has great potential, as I like the pose very much but I feel that she should have pivoted to the right some, to capture at least half of her face in the light. Same exact pose with a 10 degree shift. |
