I was told a good way to get better at shooting is to shoot yourself (didnt sound right :lol:) So I gave it a shot useing diff effects on my Canon S5 IS could anyone give me some C&C I just don't care for them.

I've found that the hardest thing in the world to shoot, is myself. For the most part, the lighting is too harsh on these; number 2 is the exception to the rule... Beautiful shot! ;)

From the top, I personally like number 4 the best.

I like the colors, the feel, and the pose. You could argue that the lighting from what appears to be a window is overexposing certain areas like your arm, but overall, I really like the shot.

Keep it up!

It just seems they are overexposed...nothing wrong with position really, just a few tweeks here and there.

I do like the "pin-up" feel of the first one in your "tweeked" post though

I like 1 the best. I think in your edit you may have over softened it. the only thing distracting on 1 is the bright white leopard print. I like mood and creativity in all of them even though they have technical flaws.

I think #1 compliments your face the most. Reduce saturation a bit to improve it.

Maybe I am the only one not phased by your boobs but they (the pictures, not your boobs LOL) look soft, over exposed, too saturated, too much contrast, and they're pretty typical MySpace shots. Maybe invest in a tripod to lose the "arms length away" deal. If I had to pick a favorite, it'd be 4. You're very pretty, keep at it. :)
