#4 is my pick Tony. Good work.

I don't like the doors in the first one, the reflection off them is pretty distracting. What lighting did you use?

#4 is my pick also. The denjm worhs well with the stone.

no 2 for mine the colours work bst against one another.. where shooting against white or lighter objects doesnt work for mine against fair skin.

Maybe a touch of sharpening would work for these shots.

Another vote for 4 (&5)

#1 - the reflection from the door is nasty, and the skin tones for her face just don't look all that great.

#2 - Much better - but due to her pose, her shoulder looks like it's about to pop out of the joint - also the very bright sunlight means that the shadows are really dark - could perhaps done with more reflectors / fill flash?

#3 - I'm not sure what it is about #3 - I think it's because she looks slightly uncomfortable because of the bright sunlight.

#4 - Lovely shot - the framing, exposure, and colours are all great - my only nit pick is some catchlights would have been nice.

#5 - My only problem is that her face seems too soft (slightly OOF?), and again, some catchlights would have really made the shot.

I was to tired to do much post processing. The door one had 580ex flash with home made defuser.

I picked the spots and the model just did her thing. I agree the jeans shots were the best. Used 580 flash with the off camera cord above my head pointing down.

Man I need to learn how to direct.

I vote for 4 and 5! nice job overall, but like mentioned, i think a little sharpening would help!

Did you use any reflectors or flash?

4 and 5 are the best of this. That harsh lighting of mid-day is a killer.

It was 6pm. The jean ones were done in shade away from the wind. Flash was 580ex with off camera shoe cord

Tony - 4&5 for me. #1 would have probably worked if a diff background was used...
