I guess my favorite is that one

The pose is great and the model gorgeous! Pic is blurry is some spots I guess that's my only complain.

The 2 others one are too contrasted according to me. Just my opinion. If you have a sec could you give me your point of view on my portrait pics ?

Interesting. In spite of my preference for normal colors in an image, I happen to prefer your first edit of #2 (the edgier one). Nice work!

And shutter speed?
That last image doesn't look sharp in the eyes, and as mentioned, there is blur in the others. The others might be subject movement, but this last has to be OOF or camera shake.

This appears to be a model with not much experience in front of a camera. The first shot is strangely posed. Her facial expressions appear similar in all of the shots. The expressions are somewhat deadpan. Unfortunate, as she appears to be a lovely girl. The shots at the end of the shoot are always the best. The model now is relaxed and it shows particularly in the eyes. Keep working with her, potential is there.

Hi Michele, I like what you've done to them and she is very cute and with some experience, I think she could have a good go at it. I find myself in the same predicament as yourself, to "process" or not to process. And by that I mean to do some special treatment on the photos. I guess my thinking is, if they're using them for their books then they should probably be more on the natural side. But I love to treat my photos, so I usually offer a couple versions to the models I shoot and let them decide. I still don't know the answer, but I'm hoping someone will clue me in. I've only done a few shoots to date (tfcd), but am planning on doing more very soon.

I think the poses are good, although maybe a little forced (again that will come with more experience on the models side). I really like the location you choose and I also like the crossprocessed look you did. The natural ones are also quite nice as well. The last one you posted is a nice headshot. I guess as far as processing goes, maybe somewhere in between?? Again, I really don't know what I'm talking about as I'm still learning all this myself. :) The focus maybe be a wee bit soft, but not terribly so (do you USM again after resizing down? I find that really helps mine)

Anyways, good luck. I've seen some of your other work and your doing a great job. :)
