gorgeous model and light, a lot to like here, but I would have preferred her arm out of the way, so her curve was not broken and obstructed. cheers stunning B&W.

like your camera angle, pose and lighting. my one pick is how well her shorts blend with the background, that curve does not pop like I would like to see. cheers...

nice window light, and very attractive model, but a little too much white of the eyes.
the portrait has a quality that she has been spooked, when you see this much white.

you understand my point, I see so many sites that have zero feedback on others work, or some people that post a comment that says, if you have the time please look at my new stuff.

This digital world has turn the art of photographic images, into some kind of megapixel waste land, when people have nothing to say at all that is frightening.

Somehow we need to move away from the digital dumping ground of millions of images, and go back to print for our product, I think showing this as a framed print would have more impact.

nice.

Off camera flash for key, on camera flash for fill, did not adjust for

a 2:1 ratio.

I am no more angry than your comment as to this being a suggestive photo. I would not want to give anyone the notion that I am exploiting children as the likes of Sally Mann did.

I do understand any feedback is better than no feedback, but I just want to make others aware of intention of photo, it was not of your thinking of suggestive.

yes she is young, and her mom was standing right next to me as I was photographing her, please note that she is wearing shorts.
So, yes she is young for your intentions of what you might be thinking, but not everyone is thinking that. Thank you for your comment.

Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 fantastic lens, and half the price of Nikons

overpriced glass, Uncle Mike P. is not going to like reading that.

John, I am not following you on this post, although I'm here commenting, it has more to do with lack of subject impact than anything else, the image is flat and something I would not expect from a photojournalist.
this image was really the most you had for inspiration in your day to share with us?

very nice image...

well seen...

thank you for the clarification, I did not know you were looking for technical feedback and not what professional photographers might see with their eyes. I am just a photographer since 1975.

All I have in my defense is when I do a wedding and get prints back, I can lay the prints on the wedding gown and they match, I think it best that I skipped all the techno gamma color stuff, I would have thought something was off when it really was not.

Humor me and take a paint chip off that wall and put it next to your monitor.

I am going to say that I have a well calibrated eye, overlooking your thoughts about my monitor, here let me give you a little old school basics, I look at my camera screen and then compare my monitor, all monitor calibration mean squat if it does not match my cameras output, with that said, this image has a red overcast, like you may have used a magenta filter in your post process.

I don't like when people tell me not to do something on a public forum, who are you?

If you had a white poster board and bounced some light back on her face you would of had the results you were looking for with your camera settings, you need to remember a camera reads reflective light, and her white pants might have push your shutter speed up, the camera if not set to spot metering is reading the light bouncing off her pants, and not her face.
If you had a hand held incident light meter and metered next to her face, your numbers would have been different then your camera settings. you may have blown out her pants slightly, but you would of had better skin tone on her face, which is your main subject.

That looked like a tricky place with all that broken lighting, on an overcast day this same place would yield a much nicer image with a slight fill light.

Hope this helps a little.

Thanks for any C&C.

great camera POV, wonderful catch light in the eyes.

perfect in every little detail.

wonderful camera work, very nice timing.

nice click, I like this street shot.

wow, this is tack sharp, spot on focus, very nice image.

And Stephen I did not mean for the comment to be offensive about age, but merely what is ask of a photographer.
