One image does not show on this page, only its thumbnail. Which makes our customary # sequence confusing. So I will use the file names instead.

fbcre_bw.jpg is intriguing, but I would have let the earrings go out of focus. Or not color them. Or leave off the earring camera right that is peeking out from behind the face. As it stands, the earrings are a little too distracting.

Fabook.jpg is super nice. Natural looking skin tone, the right things in focus, and not too tightly cropped. :judge:

fbnhu.jpg (the thumbnail one) is close, but would be better without the wrinkles in the neck. Which is a posing problem. Tilting her head to her left should fix that. Of course that means the camera has to be raised, etc.

I think these are great! I didn't open the thumbnail though, so I have no opinion on that one. The 1st one is the winner in my eyes! Nice efforts!!! :thumbsup:

Nice headshots. Crisp, good colours, and great eyes.
Love to see this same style done with other poses and wider framing

I like the 2nd and 4th images best, in that order. #1 has lots of potential, but I'm not a fan of the processing. I would go either color or black and white, not selective color. And the earrings look way too photoshopped for me -- you don't want it to look like you simulated the shallow DoF in post, even if that happens to be the case...

Wow great work the only one I slightly dislike is the first one fbcre_BW.jpg. I'm not a fan of color and B&W in the same image.

There is no reason not to follow your heart. ... Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Yeah, I know . . .old, bumped thread.


The last one, the one with the open 'hook' on the model's left ear.

Her right pupil, picture left, is all smushed ...looks odd to my eye.

And a model prep 'problem' ...a few eyebrow hairs above her left eye that need plucked.


...tom...
