A portrait to add to my port. Please comment and critique. Thank

you...Brent

Love to view more exciting images of this pretty face model - here it seems she is too tired to pose in front of your camera - never mind, perhaps you will show us her better mood

A sultry and sensual portrait.  It is well done but a trifle dark.  A little lightening, please, but not too much.

This image shows much more light on my home monitor than other monitors I saw the image on today.  I struggled with adding more light and thought otherwise because I did not want to blow out the hair any more than it already was.  Guess I could bring up the exposure with that area masked in PS.  Thanks for your help. 

Best regards Brent!

Different monitors is always a problem, a calibration is one good thing that helps even out the difference but to be on the safe side I often try to se the values in photoshop as well.

I noticed two things in this shoot that I think you can improve. There is a gap in the black aria in the histogram this can be some light hitting the the lens (the sun from a window behind her that light up the hair?) if you move the black point to close that gap and ad a bit of light you get a better contrast.

A small color adjustment If magenta goes over 50 in the bright aria there is a risk that the model looks too saturated a little more light will fix that the hue value is abut low too, in sRGB is great to keep the skin value over 15 if the model isn´t very pale.

If you look at a playboy shoot they are almost always up to 24-25. so a small tweak in the hue would give her a little bit less red and more golden feel to the skin.

She is a lovely model and over all this is a nice shoot. I hope you get the chance to do more sessions with her.

If you want some photoshop explanation how to fix my suggestions feel Free to send me an mail.

Best regards Tore

Thanks Pierre..

Great Tore, I will definately look into this and will use it to improve future images.  Thank you so much for the help.  As for shooting the model again, probably won't be a problem unless I am in trouble at the time.  She is my better half.   Best regards to all...Brent
