Playing around with Light

Ive gotten good reviews on these from several folks, and figured I would share also, to get more CC. thanks for looking

FWIW...#1: I think the mood is there, but I feel the subject is still slightly underexposed. #2:..It's an awkward pose and I think the light is too harsh and maybe positioned too far to the right of the model. The pose and the light just don't work well together in my opinion.

Interesting comments by bbvdm. I agree with his assessment of #2 completely, but completely disagree on his assessment of #1, and I'm a finicky underexposure freak. I really think #1 has a very sultry feel to it and the side lighting works really well. Her right foot and shoe is exposed perfectly relative to the face and composition.

Having some light into her right eye would have been icing on the cake.

Here's with a brightness adjustment, it looks okay, but I like the original better, the brighter image makes it fall into the category of the second image lighting wise, a little to hot. Different strokes I guess.

thanks, both of these images were edited to look more dramatic, its just how I like it. the red door shot,, well that door wasnt red when it was shot. I will post the originals for your viewing so you can see what I did.
