very creative. I love the simplified surroundings that make the PS job simple yet effective. kids are photographed nice as well. congrats

I like the calmness of th composition as well as the depth. great lights and posing. only suggestion is to shoot it from a bit higher to reduce the body compared to the face.

The eyes have very low contrast. I would make the eyes stand out a bit more

how is it?

lol

great choice of colors and background

very professional looking colors and sharpness. The composition could be a less complicated to my taste, but great posing and dress and make up. grat

nice toning and pose. pretty face captured beautifully

shot over the weekend at a wedding. what dou think?

grat colors and connection with the model. I wouldnt pose her on her fist though. maybe bend her wrist a bit.

great story!

this was shot this weekend. posed picture by entrance door inside the

building with fill from right. post process in raw. what do you think?

flawles fashion portrait

nice portrait. I might not be right but it seems to me the white of the eye was brightened a bit. I would either crop the upper arm off or tell the model to extend her arms out to give larger base to the picture. Nice hair light.

Rest in peace Coach.

What do you think? I tried my best to vreate a perfect profile pose

with short lighting and so called loop shadow pattern.

less is more. single light still amazes me. I look at old old portraits, they almost all use 1 light, still create such great moody lively 3D feeling. I am sure it can be reproduced by flashes, but first I want to understand how it works... :) toning done with google's free tiny but awesome program called Picasa. You could try it... its no photoshop, but its for free :)

thx. I tried to make it as simple as possible, with classic pose and lighting.

The pose is to strict. The hands ar cut off and the treebranch is messing up the harmony of the pic. You could try that the model is not hugging but leaning her back to the branches, but maybe with post processing you shoud remove or darken all elements (eg perpendicular brenches) that are racing for the viewers attention. Otherwise well exposed photo, with nice colors. Light is good too.

Daylight, by a window, no reflectors were used, post process in

Picasa2 free program. How is it?

It has been more than two years, and I still cant even come close to this photo. This photo, and people's responses to it made me learn a lot of things. For a while I didnt even take pictures, then slowly started to digest and think about, what makes a good photograph. It certainly not the camera or the lens (great article by Ken Rockwell)! Because of my thirst of learning I have met some fine teachers, and inspirations, such as Jay Andriot and Monte Zucker, who helped me to learn to see the light. I know it will probably take a lifetime, to make a picture as good as this one, but I want to improve myself, and I hope I will find my path. I just wanted to say thanks for everyone whose comments and critiques changed my way of look at photography.

cute moment captured here. congrats

i dont think the frame is distracting. Whaat seems unnatural is the skin tone. The composition and lighting is great!
