I took these the other day... What do you think? What could I do to make them better? I think some of them look kinda washed out. ie: second photo

Are the words, "you lucky dog" appropriate for a guy whose screen name is "am_pitbull_terrier"? 8-)

Nice photos. Playful poses. Love the socks.

Gosh, I miss Pittsburgh! Feel free to post photos of your wife as often as possible, pitbull. Great shots! Very easy on the eyes! ;)

Your wife has the most amazing eyes! I really like the pose in #1 but #2 is good also.
I love the way that the subject stands out out of the the background.

Congratulations! You've got two lovely portraits of a beautiful model.

I can't imagine why I ever left Pennsylvania. Of course your wife wasn't born then.

Those are lovely shots. The backdrop is a little distracting, but otherwise, very nice. I also agree with the comments on your wife's eyes. They are captivating.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Nice shots. If I were to critique at all would be to get rid of the socks in the first shot. I would agree that the lighting might be a bit harsh but nicely done for what appears to be a session of having fun and practising. She has georgeous eyes.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.

gorgeous eyes!! The eyes stand out the most in my opinion. Beautiful woman. I think if you softened the light a bit the skin might appear a bit more natural and not so washed out. Great shots though. :)

Nice shots. If you're worried about them looking "washed out" and you have Photoshop or PSP, try playing with the Histogram/Levels function or possibly Curves. I rarely post or print a shot without adjusting Levels in PSP or Histogram in Photoshop.

Hey everyone, Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try them out and repost some new shots later. She gets compliments about her eyes all of the time, especially in photos. They show up so vivid in photographs

Try taking the flash off the camera with an extention cord and diffuse it, or bounce to the side onto a piece of white board or something. That way you get a kind of 'softbox like' light source. This lady deserves an good-as-it-can-be-photo...
