Natural model Simone

[Lahnet]

The task was to make a natural outdoor picture of Simone. It is to be used in some kind of contest (not a photo contest)

Canon 5D
50mm / 1.8
Fill Flash

Please comment if you like. I have a opportunity to reshoot in a few days, but I kind of like these.

I like the first and last shots the most. The middle shot isn't as flattering.

On all shots the hair is a bit out of control (though that may be what you were going for)

Just my opinion...I'm in now way the last word :)

I also like #1 and #3, but #3 looks a little chopped off on the right side. #1 is great.

I`m no expert, but just thought I would add my opinion too.;)

Thank you.

The hair chaos is intended :-)

My own fave is number 2

#2 has the clearest shot of her face, unobstructed by hair. It's mostly a profile, though. I'm not too crazy about the flowers in the background, almost looks like they're growing out of her head. #1 is the most engaging, but has a sort of sheepdog look with all the hair in her face and eyes. #3 is not bad, but her expression seems a bit taut.

I actually like #2 the most. #1 has too harsh of shadows due to the sunlight and #3 has hair obstructing her eye which is what I am drawn to the most. #2 does have a slight issue about the flowers, but, they seem to be oof enough to not be distracting to me. I really like how her hair frames her face in #2. Over all, sharp photos and good color. Great example of what a properly functioning 50mm 1.8 can do.
