I think they look good.
For my nitpicks, I don't care for how her legs are out in #1, I think for females I personally prefer to see them crossed. And in #2, I'd be mighty tempted to clone out that white little logo on her shirt, its a bright spot that takes your attention away from the subject.
Other than that its all good!

I've never been a fan of the feet-tenna either, but I think they are great otherwise! I find the logo a little distracting too.. maybe even just darken it a little if you don't want to get rid of it all together? Nice stuff!

Thanks Sue & Amanda.
To be honest, I hadn't even noticed the logo. But I guess it always pays to pay attention to detail.

Thanks again!

lighting is good on them all.. the B&W's could use a little bump in contrast though.

Number 1 the feet and left hand look a bit awkward.\
Number two the legs look a bit wide spread.
Number 3 = sensational !Id just PP the whites of her eyes and teeth to bring them out a bit more, and get rid of the veins & slight yellow in the teeth. Love the lighting in 3, nice capture - well done!

Hi Mark

Of course I don't mind. Your version looks well.
Thanks for the comments too. This "posing" lark is harder than I thought.

Lighting wise- great first efforts, really!

In terms of pose/expression - I like the first & the last shots. Nicely done.

I think these shots look great, your model looks comfortable.
I knew you'd get the posing comments as soon as I saw the 1st shot! So many people are bothered by this. I don't think you can win here cuz if the legs were crossed the feet would look like they're sprouting from her head instead of legs from shoulders...

I am curious though, is your 2nd shot flipped horizantly/mirrored? The Ralph Lauren logo should be on her other side shouldn't it?

Thanks!
rane - well spotted. Yes, it has been mirrored - not sure why but I think I just preferred it that way.

she probably will too, because that's how she's used to seeing herself in the mirror.
