I like the series, great story telling.
Nice job!

[Ichiban]

the pose is a little weird in #2, maybe have their heads be level, and a kiss wouldn't hurt, or even just touching each other's faces. Other than that, really nice pictures. I like the PP on #7.

[erdemisi]

They're all very nice.

[Svetlana]

Thanks everyone! Ichiban, I can see what you mean with #2, I have other shots from that set up, I'll link one of them tonight. I tried not to pick too many kissing shots to post..lol, I think normally 70% of my e-session shots are kissing, I was trying not to overwhelm you guys. :) I appreciate your feedback!

[FamilyJules]

I love these, Lana :) I love the perspective on the first 2....very cool!!

[nwagirl]

#6 is my fave and I really like #7 except that one leaf that appears to be in her hair is distracting to me but that's just my little ole opinion. Very nice photos!

[Svetlana]

hey thanks! :) funny you mention the leaf, there was another one right where her ear is and omg it looked so funny so I cloned it out, but I never thought about the one on her shoulder. Will have to take care of that. :)

Julie, thanks so much, girl! :)

You sure you can't come for the Chris Becker workshop?? It's in a week and a half.

You're so welcome, luv!

Aw, I wish I could! Sounds like it would be so much fun. Even if I could afford a ticket up there, I have 3 shoots and 2 weddings scheduled for the next 2 weeks. You'll have to let me know how it goes! :D

Oh I will for sure! :) Too bad you can't make it though...

Really a nice job on them all. There's not one I wouldn't be happy with and I'm sure your clients are too. I have a bridge I use, but never seem to get the spontaneity you get in no. 1. That and 7 and 8 are my favorites. I like 5, but maybe with contrast bumped up a little.

Tom, thanks so much for your c&c, that's exactly what I was looking for! I'll play a bit with #5 to see about the contrast (i honestly think photobucket takes away the quality of posted photos thou :( ) I think my relationship with the clients is most of the time better than my photos lol...:)

[picturecrazy]

Very nice pictures, Svetlana!

My favourite is 6. The exposure is good, the pose is good, and the colours are nice.

2 and 7 look like the skin tones are too cold, especially on 2.

I like 3 quite a bit too. Where in town was this?

Hi Lloyd! Thanks so much for your feedback! I'll tweak the temp in the 2 photos you mentioned.

We mostly took photos in Prince Island park in downtown and also you know those rock ruins on 12 Ave and 6 Street SE? That's where we were. :) I constantly get asked to go there...lol..Are you coming to Calgary anytime soon?? :):) Do you know about Chris Becker's workshop next week?

[picturecrazy]

Hey Svetlana. Yeah, I know about the workshop. I don't think I'll attend but have considered it. I still might change my mind as I'll have to come down to Calgary next week anyways.

[qtranva]

These are beautiful shots. I like them all. I'm still learning by looking at your works and others here - so thanks for sharing.

[sebr]

These are all great!

[Svetlana]

Thanks guys!

[c2thew]

Nice set! the second picture on the right for picture #1 isn't as powerful as the one on the left, so it kind of averages out the picture if you know what i mean.

I like # 7, however there is too much color going on in the background. I would love to see selective coloring in that picture to bring out the couple and just the big strident yellow poles. That would make the picture very powerful.

[Svetlana]

Thanks so much for your feedback c2thew! In #1 I have the photos separate, just put them together here for easier viewing. I'm not a fan of selective coloring really, I'd rather convert this photo to b/w to draw attention to the couple. :)

[sctbiggs]

Number 2 need some sort of WB adjustment or Warming Filter applied to it. At least to their skin.

In number 3... haha... i don't know why this popped out at me but that little rock looks to me like some sort of gorilla face. Like a gorilla is rising out of the water.

[Svetlana]

haha lol..:):) I've been staring at #3 for the past 5 minutes and can't see a gorilla faced rock...too funny.
