Joycelin

Handheld at 1/90, F/8

F8 doesn't really work for me here, the plant doesn't merge with the subject and the model doesn't seem to have a natural expression, kind of weird

but overall, this is a good picture

Real nice composition...beautiful tones and beautiful model too...Saludos.

Alec.... quality of your work is unmistakeable - superb clarity and outstanding colors 14/7 14/7

Beautiful model nice expression. IMO she looks a little stiff. I'd like to see her arm bent a little and her back not so strait.

Thanks for your input guys, you're right, she's a bit stiff here so I have added another which should have been posted as the first image. Oh well! Next time will be more careful.

Alec, the original image appears to me more aesthetic.

Thanks Sircar, the skin tones is nicer and the close up look also has it's merit. Glad you mentioned it.

It's a pose for ladies who does not show-off,unless she's a model.

 

Lovely and beautiful.

Thanks Sally, Joycelin is a model from Mannequin Studios. Very easy and charming to work with. ^_^

Hi Alec,

I feel the first two poses are difficult for me to take in as they appear uncomfortable and a little stilted. The third image posted above sits better with me - more of a natural position and more pleasing to view because of this. Just my opinion.... All three images show your trademark composition and sharp clarity. I feel the human subject is always a difficult subject to do justice. I appreciate your efforts. Low raters are perhaps not looking at what you are looking at.

 

I like both images ... the colors "pop" and the pose is good .. what's wrong with you guys?? Pretty girl .. should be enough
