'Splorin en da Foress

I went out to shoot with a friend today since I haven't shot in so long.

Please let me know what you think... I feel like these are on the verge of being 'snapshots.' So, please tell me if my paranoia is right or not.

All C&C appreciated.. Editing/composition/et​c... Thanks for looking

I like the 2nd one the best! Some of them (like 3, 5 and 10) do look like snapshots to me though...IMO only...

starts off well but the subject gets smaller and smaller she's too pretty to be a fraction of the frame.

Thanks guys!

So from what I see, it seems like the pose makes a big difference in distinguishing an image as a snapshot or not.... Is this idea correct?

any more advice?

thanks

I'd say 1 is your best. Nice pose, nice lighting (even with the blown out background) and nice processing.

Personally, I don't care for the dress, which takes away from the captures.

Try to avoid straight on shots like 2 and 3 - the scenes are great and these could have been really cool with a different pose and crop.

I also have to agree with two40 - make your subject larger. She should be more prominent overall, not just part of the scenery.

That settles it, I've been going to the wrong forress!

Great shots.

Very beautiful shots in deed.

Great work

The subject seems to get lost in the background in some of these. In number six, the camera focused on the plants and not the subject. This location could have provided some excellent settings with a tighter crop IMHO.

Thanks so much for the comments and advice... They go a long way

Ill crop some of em tighter and see what I can come out with

I like #1 and #2 the best. The others seem to far away to really capture the moment.
