Ocean Sunrise II

Would you suggest trying to make the sunburst behind the model's head

more symmetrical?

Hello, great shot, beautiful girl and pose, love the lighting - I would agree with you to make the lighting behind her head more symmetrical.  Nice job.  LJ

Maybe its just me... but that pose seems to make her butt look even bigger than it is.  I might have her turn more so that it doesn't appear so big... also the amount of bend in her back almost makes it look like she has a back problem (more so in the shot of her standing up where my first thought was poor girl she needs back surgery).

Otherwise if you could have gotten the sun directly centered behind her head it would have been nicer.

Also you might have gotten a larger lens and stood back further so that her right hand wouldn't look quite so big in relation to her.

I will say nice color... my main issue would be with the pose not hiding her backside enough and looking a bit over posed. 

Thanks Lorrie, I'm working on that right now.  Tom, Good critique, thanks.  My wife doesn't like what she's doing with her butt, either, but her reasons may differ from yours.... 

Very calendar.  Other than the sun symmetry, you seem to master very well the lightning. Overall, very nice.

Move 6" to the right. 

The exposure on the sunset is really good.  I don't have an issue with her behind, but I that front hand does appear very large.  Esp when compared to her wrist.

you may want to try to eliminate(fill in) the shadow from her right arm, since the sun could not possibly have made it.

just a thought

CG: Damn lens distortion

Steve: Damn shadow.

actually, I was able to  successfully photoshop the sun as per my original question.
