Yeh these are good. Only one that maybe needs a little framing adjustment is the third one...or it could be her pose. Dunno but there's something about it that looks odd.

Yeh strike that... second viewing it's fine.

1) I find there to be too much sun, which obscures her face. This is where fill flash would come in handy, even in PP. Also, there's a tree trunk growing out of her head.

2) Position of the sun is good, and the model. I like the colors, but don't care for all that stuff on the left.

3) Again, sun: yes. Building: no. Crop: maybe not so much.

4) I like the idea in this one, but I find the sun too distracting.

5) Really like the light, color, pose. Would rather have less space on the left, but that's just me.

6) Same as 5, except for that building in the background.

Overall, she's sharp (and pretty) and you did a great job of capturing the detail in the hat, leaving the only blowouts in the sky (which is just fine). Overall, :thumbsup:

I don't mind the amount of sunlight in #1, seems like this is the look you were going for.

#2, the only thing I don't like is that she looks a little less comfortable or unsure in this one. The look on her face almost seems as if she's looking at you to ask, "Is this the pose you're looking for?" That might just be me. I really like the way you did the shot though. Even if I wasn't sure about the facial expression, if I took this shot I'd be very happy with it.

In #3 and #6, I find the buildings a little distracting. For the building in #6 it's not so much that there's a building there, but the hard lines of it against the sky that make it distracting for me. #3 I might also play around with different cropping.

In #4 the sun might be just a tad overpowering.

I absolutely love the light and exposure in #5 and #6, my two favorites of the series.

I think you're all overthinking these. These are great.

#4 and #6 are my favorites.

That is exactly what her expression is saying actually, I got her to flip her hair out because I liked what the sun was doing with it, but in the first set of those, her elbow was obstructing her face, so I told her to try to move her arm down instead of out. I think she was concentrating too hard on where her arm was going :silly: oops.

Thanks for all the feedback!

Thank you guys! I'm surprised at the attention #6 is getting :cheer: I liked what the bokeh did with the light in the last two, but I think it's more noticeable (and cool looking) in #5 :o

These were fun to shoot!
