Wow, a shutout??

Don't worry, I won't tell her guys.

the third one with the skyline behind her is really cool =)

I like the last one with the blurred background. She's gorgeous.

2 & 6 for me , She's gorgeous and you captured that well

John, I just saw your thread. Wonderful series. My favorite is #3, which I think is excellent. And btw, she's gorgeous. I'd love to have her on the far side of my camera. You are very fortunate.

I certainly grok the frustration of 100s of views with no comments, having just done one of my best shoots that means so much to me as a photographer, with Zero Response. Although I've posted rationalizations for threads that receive no responses, citing the size and activity level of PotN, Zero Response is still soul deadening.

I love your work John, and I love seeing the gorgeous models who work with you.

The people area does not get as much traffic as G&N. 3 I like the concept but not her foot camera right.

Thanks guys.

Graham, it's interesting that I never know what will get shutout and what will draw huge comment. I expected Anna to be a hit which, I guess, is why I bumped her where I might not some other.

I think you should tell a model when something doesn't look good and then adjust here pose to make it better... 1 makes her tummy bloated... 3 her thighs is not flattering, when shooting swimsuits...it is advisable to tell them to hold in there tummy and arch there back and chest out. Exposures are fine but needs a bit of contouring on face and skin.

To add to PhilF's post:
Keep body parts - from body parts. If she propped herself up slightly with her leg, Phil probably wouldnt have had that comment. Her arm too, keep it away from her sides will make it more lean.

Lose the fake bokeh. Also add C&C to the post will make some people reply - I know I fear getting modded for saying something when someone didnt ask for comments/critique.
