Dabbling a bit

I dont often do this type of photography but its growing on me... thoughts welcome.

Reduce the amount of softening on 1, have lost all detail in her face, makes it look artificial.
Bring the exposures up a bit on the first 2, both look underexposed. I know thats the kind of look you were aiming for on 2, but its too dark.
Reduce the highlights and a bit of fill light on 3.

Nice model and good poses, just the exposures seem a bit off! Yet again, im at work so not on a calibrated monitor.

I think the first one looks like a chalk drawing and the second one is horribly dark and grainy. They're both over saturated. The B & W is OOF.

But hey.......if it's a "style" and it does it for you......I guess we all have things we like that others may not. Maybe I just don't get it.

Keep dabbling. These are great examples of effort. The critiques will help with your next post.

In addition to the above CC, to me, pic two would be nicer in BW, due to her expression, and pic three would be nicer in color. Love the pose and shoes in pic three.
