Dartmoor Maiden (Meg again)

I Was given the chance to photograph Meg in an out door location

today. So I accepted the offer more as a chance to learn than for the

photos, I learnt a lot but would like to learn some more ... any

advice of what could have been done better would be appreciated

- Thankyou ~Peter~

I think it would make a lot of difference if she were engaged with you, looking directly at you and us. As this is a fairly casual shot, and very nicely posed and composed, it doesn't seem to warrant the distance created by her glance to the side. Why not give it the human element of connection to the viewer? Also, perhaps a bit more contrast, deepening of the tones somewhat in the surroundings, would bring her out just a bit more. In a more classical kind of nude, I think this look away works well, but here I'd consider making that visual connection.

Thankyou.. I appreciate your tip .. I see what you are saying about the contact .. I will have a look through the other photos I took today I may have some in there to choose from... I shall also try the editting you have suggested.. Much appreciated ~Peter~

Hi there

 

I like the natural look and feel, I just think that you model looks a little on the nervous side, and the color under her right elbow is unnatural - perhaps something she was resting on?

Hi Richard, yep it was a foam pad to stop the rocks marking her skin for the next photo .. She is also sat/lying on a towel which I did remember to tuck away This was also to stop marks from the hard rock "dimpling" her behind as I also took some rear view shots .. I will photoshop that away as if by magic. Thanks for spotting it.

Hi

 

I thought that might be the case.

Will we be seeing more of this series, It will be interesting to see.
