I went along to a studio workshop last night and took these shots at the end. Any comments would be appreciated! Many thanks!

Gorgeous model, and I really like your pictures.
The only thing I would say, though, is that there's something weird on her left arm on the first picture. Did you use photoshop on those? Looks like you were trying to cut her from the background or something, but it might just be the angle.
Good, work, though!

No...she wasn't cut out from the background. Only photoshop was to fix a couple of blemishes and soften the skin. Her left arm that you can see is actually the elbow area...her arm is bent in like her right arm so it gives a little kink! Cheers for the comment!

all three are nice...

1. I'd like her eyes looking up a bit more... but thats all I'd change on it.

2. The expression on her face makes her look worried.

3. In my opinion her legs are at an awkward angle.

Shes gorgeous and you did an wonderful job at lighting her and making her look wonderful!!

What technique did you use to soften the skin?

Just created a layer with a slight guassian blur and erased all but the skin. Put the opacity then down to 30%.

Thanks for your comments all!
