A couple different edits

First ones look kind of like a yoga pose. The second two look like an attempt to flag down the rescue party before the sun goes down. Keep in mind, I don't do yoga, and I don't go outside when I see the landscape covered with weird white stuff.

Concept is good but it looks like a guy warming up before skiing. Clothing choice is completely wrong for this but if the client is happy then all is good.

Not that it matters much but your WB is a little off. Especially in the first one. As I remember, snow is usually white. Not blue. :)

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.

yeeeees. the idea itself is good, but location should be worked on better [clutter and stuff], clothes are too buff and it actually doesn't matter, are we lying with them or not - you cannot showoff yoga with them, and, of course - there still should be lighting job done.

So - too much hurry for good results :]

I have to agree with what they others have said. Although one doesn't have to be wearing yoga gear to do yoga, the environment she's in makes it appear as though she's just stretching, not necessarily yoga posing. With this environment and dress, you really need other elements to drive home the yoga aspect. I'm not into yoga so I don't know what those elements could be at the top of a snowy mountain. WB is definitely cool, warm it up a hair to bring some white back to that snow.


Some moments are too amazing to be ruined with words.

it was wrong time of day,its way to bright and your shooting into the sun,if u are going for a full silloutee then that would be fine but it doesn't look like u are,if u shot these with the sun to your back the subject would be in full light so u could see the details,your camera is confused on what to meter,as the bright sun is confusing it,if u are going for a full silloutee which could be cool if she was in a proper yoga outfit then meter for the sun and lock that exposure on your cam then compose and shoot. could be a cool idea if done right.
as mentioned these ones have exposures and such all over the place and also some white balance issues,
