Sorry for MORE of Rianna, but she's my only available model! :)
Here are a few from the other day that I'd like comments on...I kinda liked them, which probably means they're horrid, but oh well. I was experimenting with the editing in PS--I just discovered curves. :)
Lol, here they are:

and probably my personal fav of the bunch:

Thanks tons, everyone!

Holy blown highlights, Batman!

Okay, I like the composition, expressions, and colors, but my eyes can't get over the harsh glaring bits. The black and white image isn't at all bad, but could probably have done with some light burning on the shoulder to even out the tone. The second color shot could probably be slightly improved by a slight burning on the forehead to kill the reflection there, but I have no idea what to do about the background, unless you were shooting raw and can re-import with around a -2 EC to see if that helps. Try bracketing exposure next time.

I do really like the second foot shot (your favorite), there, the white regions fit in reasonably well. On the first one, they're placed in such a way as to be distracting

Lol thanks for the comments...actually, the shots were totally "normal" looking, I just blew out the highlights on purpose in PS. lol I guess maybe I shouldn't try to be creative next time...Sigh. Oh well.

i actually like the blowed out highlights. i think it gives it that care-free midday sun kind of feel which goes well with the young model

no problem. and dont be afraid to get really tight with cropping. sometimes i cut a bit off the top of their head because i feel like sometimes if you crop it like that, the viewer wont look past the subject and into the background. like crop off the top of their hair. i've seen some shots where they cut it at the forehead.

I like the shots, especially the posed feet.
