| I think your shots are definitely well done...great lighting all round...if you wouldnt mind...id like to take one and pass it through my workflow just to touch it up..and my suggestions will be in the editing process. |

| sure tranquil, you can edit it the way you like. also the way i achiveed the look in the second one is to apply a gaussian blur and fade it via overlay masking. and adjust the brightness and contrast accordingly..thanks for the encouraging words. i get frustrated sometimes. i really love these pictures by the way.. i think they turned out suberb in my opinion...just needed some feedback you know. :) only human after all:) |

I wish i could take photos like this...
Did some dodging, desaturating, hue/sat, and blurring. Very very quick work though...

i re-editted the first one with the same methos used in the second one. tell me what you think.
tranquil: i was gonna do the same but i got lazy and also i kinda liked the rather dirty background type of look. but sure is a good option to clear the background and use pure white:) |

| I'm not a big fan of the PS'd images, but the important part, (the actual base image) is beautiful. It's photo's like this that make me want to work harder at studio/fasion work. Keep up the work, and don't let your self-esteem slow you down. |

You're far from a happy-snapper, most of your stuff is great...
Out of these, #3 is my favourite, I think a white background is a bit harsh for your model in these poses. The poses feel quite intimate and sensual, and a white background is not really either.
The black choker/neclace thingit in the first shot looks a little odd, as I can't see much of the strap, it looks a bit like a pom-pom sticking out from her chin to me. (Appologies to your model.. :-).
As always, my 2c worth.
Cheers, Chris H.

Are you kidding? Your self portraits alone would make 95% of this site jealous. Let alone all your other shots.
