Taken with 17-50 and 580ex on camera with a GF cloud diffuser. C&C is encouraged and appreciated.

I like it :) Personally I would either clone out the hand (as it looks like it is just coming up from nowhere) or crop your model in an portrait crop.
But I like everything else about it :)

I think you have done a great job! I prefer the second one.

Much better :) Also try to crop it into a portrait. You may also like that as well :)

I really like it - and the hand didn't bother me either. Nice images - got any more (different) shots?


Think about NOT using the word "retarded" in a derogatory manner - it insults those who cannot defend themselves - and hurts the ones who love them. Please see: http://www.r-word.org/ (external link)

I agree. I like the edit better without the hand, but now you have huge blank space. Crop it horizontally into a portrait setup and it will be spot on.

Nice work!

this was the only one that was worthy in my eyes. My girl had just gotten her new sunglasses and wanted some pictures with them on. I'll have more now that i got the 85 and my girl is a makeup artist so im doing most of her portfolio work.

I like the photo but don't particularly like a black background. It does provide nice contrast though. Keep them coming man.

with the hand cropped out .. it definitely added more attitude to the picture as in the tilt of the head and it would seem she has her arm crossed saying " yeah? " .. well done !

I like the hand, but I wish you could see more of her arm. As it is now, it looks like the hand is popping outta nowhere.

I like your second edit. Though the black space to the right in the picture is a bit distracting to me.
