Same model as my Rule of Thirds Entry...Plus another, obviously.
We worked diligently on getting the poses to work with a square composition, which is my favorite crop. These two are friends, drove a long way to shoot with me and it was a lot of fun working with them. I have a ton of images from a marathon session, so I will upload some more after voting. It was great because we did a variety of shots, locations, both studio and natural lighting-which by the way is so much fun. I almost always use strobes and flashes, but natural light is so easy to work with if you take the time to find the right spot...definitely something I am going to explore more in the future. I am entering this into the Free Study, because studio and model work is still something I am learning and hope to receive plenty of constructive criticism. Thanks guys!
By the way, the last couple of "Expert Editing" challenges I went over the top to mixed success. This time, this editing was borderline basic, with just a touch of dodge and burn to make it creep over to advanced. Nothing too crazy this time. |

| I really like the shot, except the model laying down is trying to look too far upward and this makes her eyes look a little strange. Her hand and forearm being out of focus is somewhat distracting too, but I understand the DOF problems that can cause this. Overall, I really think you did an excellent job and hope you do well. 9 |

| Only issue I see is the bottom one's eyes. It looks strange with almost no iris showing. |

| Fantastic models and composition. The only thing that lets it down is the 'halo' created by the background not being burnt out enough. good luck, 7 |

| Nice but a little too soft focus on the nearest hand/arm for me. Little bit too shallow dof for my tases I guess. Otherwise, great photo. |

Nice shot... sensual and unnerving at the same time.
I feel like the gradient in the background is too strong - my eye keeps seeing its outline; and there's something kinda freaky about both their eyes. Overall great photo, though. |
