Alicia again

Here are several more pictures of Alicia. We have been taken a whole lot of pictures the past 3 weeks. She is hoping to build a portfolio which allows me to get plenty of practice. And I need the practice. I know that I blew out the background on the first one. I forgot to check the histogram but I liked how it came out. Also, is the background to busy on the second one? This is why I still need to practice. I'm hoping to improve my skills someday.

All taken with the 50mm lens and fill flash. Still trying to figure out this lens. I get a lot of soft photos.

C&C welcomed.

Looks good to me but the pose in #2 doesn't quite work for me. Nice shots anyway

i like the top half of 3 &4, her leg look awkward and uncomfortable though. try that same posebut move that front food back and maybe tuck behind the other ankle, very femine pose.

keep working! youll get there!

Thanks Kathy. Yea, I noticed the legs were awkward when taking the pictures and I tried to have her move them but she couldn't get comfortable on the rock. However I didn't think about your suggestion:o I will next time. Thanks.

The pictures are good. One other thing I would add (and it might just be a personal quirk with me), but try not to show the bottom/sole of the shoe. They usually aren't very attractive and I find it really distracting (picture #4)

Very nice. 3 and 4 are really nice, good work on the posing.

3 and 4 are my favorites! Great work Art!! If I had to pick one it would be 3, she looks especially beautiful in that one

Thanks xfraser. To be honest with you I didn't notice the bottom of the shoe. You are correct about it.

Great shots. She looks beautiful in all of them.

I like #3 especially well. The diagonals are there, making a pleasing composition.

I'm not offended by the blown background in #1 as the exposure seems spot on.

Good job art.

Very nice, I like the 3rd shot.

I take mine out of Auto Focus a lot because mine doens't like to cooperate. I need to send it in to be checked, but it works fine manual so I just deal with it. I did read quite a few reviews that dogged it because of the poor autofocus though.

I agree with this, for me the facial expression just doesn't match the body language.

Thanks Jim, Steve, Ashley, and Owen. I appreciate the kind comments.
