Thanks Mike. I have to say that I think that's one of the best pictures I've ever taken. Seriously.

It's a touch hot on her arm in the second shot...but I don't think that will stop it from being a sale.

It's not blown according to the histogram, but I agree that it's a little hot. I tried toning it down a bit. I could try some more.

Is my thinking correct here? If the histogram shows not blown, it's not blown. Or am I not understanding correctly?

That means a lot to me. Especially considering that you're not actually here. ;)

Well, I learned a lot from the first shoot and tried to employ some of those things here. I was really battling a crazy-bright sun. It came out of the clouds at the last minute and was blazing the whole time.

The first shoot kind of controlled me. That didn't feel right. This time, I took control and it worked better. I tried to be cognizant of positioning, smile, etc. I used the tripod and remote so I could be more interactive with her without having all of my contact be through the camera.

That worked pretty well for me. I'm still struggling with posing. But it was *slightly* better this time. :)

I have no idea. All I know is that on my screen, part of her skin looks too white.

The histogram says it isn't blown...there is a bit of a spike. If you can bring it down just a touch more...it should restore the detail in the fingers.

(I am not here either)

I really like the second shot Chris, though I think her skin has too much of a "glowy" effect which I am not a huge fan of... that is just me though, it is your shot and she is your client, so if you two are happy with it then great! :-D

That's not glowy. That's just how she looks.
