My girlfriend has been so great with dealing with my photographic venture. When I started, she barely let me point the camera at her, now she jumps at the oppurtunity for me to take her picture. Yesterday was a beautiful spring day so we took a trip to the park. Lemme know what ya think. Cheers. :grin:

You're very lucky to have a beautiful model. I would blur the background in #1 and #2. The pose in #2 looks awkward and she doesn't look comfortable. #3 is very nicely done. You should take the advantage of 50mm f/1.8's shallow DOF.

Lovely shots of a lovely girl. She must be happy with your results or she wouldn't let you take more shots. I agree with amorous, open up the aperature to throw the background oof, that will make her pop off the image.

I like #3 the best but I wish I could see her eyes.

Agree with the DOF comments. #3 is probably everyone's favorite because the background is nothing.

Really nice shots, and a lovely model, too!

I love #1.
I think #1 is by far the best and most flattering shot of a beautiful model.The lighting contours and defines her face very well. She has very good bone stucture and a lovely figure.

I think she looks lbs heavier in #3 her back is slightly arched throwing her chest forward, giving the illusion of a huge bust. Also the lighting is not very flattering to the face.

#1 super!

Looks great, and the black and white really works for this. I agree with Wibbles' comments about the third pictrure. The middle picture has some personality, but I also think that the first shot is the best of the three.
