Everything thus far has been good feedback. Thanks. Per the DoF, I did purposely shoot at F4 or greater. The reason is that while the model is the main subject the building was a close second (almost think as if I was shooting two models) I could have shot at 2.8 or used my 85MM and gone even further to 1.8 but I didn't want to lose the atmosphere. I appreciate your all's great critiques!

Thanks Paul for your informative post. I guess what I'm looking for was validation or that I missed the mark entirely in post processing and portraiture. I know I missed in the fact the at my backdrop was not emphasized. I've shot a ton of landscape but rarely shoot models. So I wasn't sure if I was o. The right track.

Hi, as my subject says, I recently had my first model shoot. Sadly, I did not get the results I wanted. First, I was shooting in an abandoned building hoping to get a great juxtaposition of beauty and decay, but after getting home I realized I focused too much the model and not on both model and building so I didn't get t that effect. Secondly, I'm not happy with my processing and looking for suggestions on how to improve. Currently all I have is Lightroom 5. <a href=" 722021/" title="Untitled by Dr_Fu_Manchu, on Flickr"> <img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7546/16243722021_ 9fb2bac0c5_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="Untitled"></a> <a href=" 579535/" title="Untitled by Dr_Fu_Manchu, on Flickr"> <img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8612/16245579535_ 19e223936e_z.jpg" width="640" height="428" alt="Untitled"></a>
