Nice shot. Minor nit would be the bra strap.

Canon 60D, Gripped, a bunch of consumer glass, and a really cheap tripod.....

It's solid but needs some post work. It's also a teeny bit underexposed.

Nice shot...agree with the above.

Are her lips that full or is she duck-facing it? Not a fan of duck face.

I like the pose and the DOF of the shot. If I picked about anything maybe a little brighter eyes.

It looks a little flat. You can easily make it better with post.

I agree with this assesment. If you have photoshop, take and use the curves and improve the contrast for starters. Taking and moving the shadows/highlights sliders in just abit gives it more pop right away.

My sister, the professional baker and cake decorator once told me that my camera takes great pics. My reply was that I thought her oven baked great cakes.:lol:

I really like the shot, a little more contrast would look good I think

Hey guys!

Thanks so much for the feedback! Helps alot! I always find when I post images on this forum they look a little underexposed in comparision to when I view them on my computer. Is there anyway to avoid that?! The bra strap annoys me too - but I tried to photoshop it out and it ended up looking really cheesy - I'm not the best with photoshop! I will play with the contrast and shadows. :)

Just clone stamp the bra strap. Unfortunately, that takes crazy amount of patience.

Looks a bit soft and noisy for the gear you have listed.

Looks like it came from a rebel.
