I love the blue wall in the second shot, but the shirt is too blown out. Good first shoot though!

Love the first shot.

The second is good too. I do like the 'blown outness' of the shirt. You can get away with that for seniors i think. More of a funky contrasty effect is really popular right now. I just don't like her expression there

I LOVE number one. The only thing I would fix is the piece of grass that is by Her right eye. Great job. I would love to see more.

The shirt is not blown out in the original. I have added a Kubota action to the image which makes it look hot. Thanks for the feedback!

I think they're fantastic. Senior photography is my favorite thing to shoot right now and you've posted some wonderful examples.

And I do agree, those 3 little blades are quite distracting.

Yeah I will get rid of them for the final edit. I have added a few more to view- Haven't quite finished them but I am working...

Nice job on these.. I really like the 1st one of the 2nd post however, I don't like that the jeans are on the top leg but not on the bottom. I am not 100% sure I like her skin tone in the 2nd photo but I like the pic.. Seems to be a color cast.. Nice work over all. She will be very happy with them..

I really like them all. It may be my display (at my day job) but the USM on her eyes in the very first pic looks overdone. They are REALLY contrasty.

I think is is the compression. They look less weird in the big regular image.

The jeans are actually shorts and I didn't care for it either. I may crop it a bit tighter. The color cast you see is actually a Kubota action.
