First one is a mistake, i will sharpen it up after :P

Second was was deliberate... i left it to sharp though i think, needed to be a bit softer... as i said, its my first time trying out that style

The girl is fairly boring and doesn't pose well, otherwise your shots are alright, keep it up

Careful about leaving too much space above her head, and make sure you "fill the frame" more with her, than the background. In this shot i'm more attracted to what's going on behind her, then her!

>>224649
>>224650

Focus Focus! Half the idea of a model letting herself be shot is for her to fill out her portfolio. Neither of these work for that purpose (do to the focus) and'll work to her advantage, too.

>>224654
Is the best out of all of them, pose, composition, etc.

I'd also be careful with your lighting- these all come off as underexposed to me, you could have even used a flash to help out a little bit as fill light.

Exposure wise, i like the first one the best. Everything else wise, i like the last one best.


Did you get her through Model Mayhem ?

I'm going to second the comment on the lighting, my first thought was that they're mostly too dark. Look at the whites if you aren't sure.

OP: Forgot to say, i lowerd the skin blur layer thingy by another 10% to bring out more detail
>> Anonymous
>>225035

Turn your camera's focus point to just center focusing. Then focus on the subject's eyeball and recompose the shot. For some reason, everything can be blurry but if the eyeballs are in focus, then the picture looks right.

Multiple focus points suck.

Tell her to grow bangs, and smile some.

To look pleasant.
>>224654

I like this one best. I think because of the dead space around her, where it's just the sky. I'm not a photographer though, so take my opinion lightly I spose. Would be better if she were smiling though...
