Some feedback on a few of my shots

I just wanted to get some feedback on these 2 shots. they are from 2 different shoots but i figured i could just knock out 2 birds with one stone here.

First one is probably gonna get moved or changed to a link by the mods.

IMO, the lighting on the first shot is very harsh and causes distracting shadows on the models and the fact that they're off balanced to the right distracts.

Second shot is a decent shot, spot on with the focus. That said, I find the background distracting it's a very nice bike and deserves a very nice background.

No, I think you'll be fine. The mods here are pretty fair. But anything that shows that much skin needs to be here (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=36).

Keep the photos comin though bro, wanna see more of that bike.

First one is probably gonna get moved or changed to a link by the mods. Personally, I can see much the same thing on the beach, but I'm going to check with the Mod Squad.

The first is under exposed. I know it is supposed to be dark. But it can be dark and properly exposed at the same time. I will also second the bad light. I think I can see what you were trying for, but it is just too harsh to work. A second light just barely filling in would help a lot. I don't like the spot they are standing, either centered, or more to the side.

The second shot is over exposed to me. Most of the white on the bike is without detail, and the blacks are gray.

That said I like them both. I think I can see what you want out of them and like the direction you are headed. I say try them again! I think you will do a lot better.

The consensus about the 1st image was that it should be in G&N, so it's been removed.

I can only see a Bike pic, and it's very good.
