Val on the rocks

at Sullivan's Island, SC. Digital Rebel, ef24-85, Alien Bees B800

Really, besides the pretty serious burnout in the left corner (too hot for me in any event) - there's only one thing that stuck out to me. You mention the alien bees, but there still appears to be a faint halo around your model that's noticeable between the bg and her contour, like you've blended exposure or burned and dodged.

That said, I really like this image. The highlights on her skin from the sun are great. Your attractive model's pose is interesting. (though there is a harsh shadow under her hand...eliminate with softbox maybe?). You've caught a nice experession. Many things working here. Take care, James

Added: a crop would get rid of much of that burnout and get your viewer's eye more up close and personal with your lovely model.

Thanks for the heads up on the halo. I meant to go back and clean that up and forgot. Here's the corrected version. The upper left comes down to personal preference, so flip a coin there :)

Amazing!!

I think you caught too much of her back and the rock w one of those bee's, and a square crop (although all the the sky works well) might look better on this. Beautiful capture, Mike!
