Portrait C&C

I'm not sure this one works. What do you think? Also, any thoughts on processing for other pics in the set?

Great lighting opportunity. Did you take any with her looking at you?

Yes, most of the rest are of her looking at the camera.

Let's see a few more then.
This one looks pretty good but I might smooth out the bra lines a bit.
Ask her to remove it next time.

I like the pose, composition and background.

It's subjective I think but on my monitor, the image looks a bit under exposed and could use a boost in contrast.

Here's a quick edit where I upped the exposure 1/2 stop and bumped up the contrast. I also warmed her skin tones slightly and darkened the bg back down again for a bit more seperation. I also smoothed out the bra lines as suggested.

Really like nice soft lighting on the model.

Good advise. Thanks Qbx.

Nice edit as usual doc. I actually had processed it similar to this initially but softened and removed contrast later since that was the look she was looking for. I am going to need to up the exposure though.

Thanks ktan. I'll try to post some more when I finish processing.

I'll throw my two bits worth in. I like the image except there's not enough mid-tone contrast and that exacerbates it looking underexposed.

I'm thinking a move along these lines.

Thanks for the edit windpig. I'll be working on that pic alittle later tonight and will post the reprocessed version. Here are a few more:
