Princess of the desert

My daughter and I were playing around with my new strobes.
Still learning. Every comment is welcome.

i got one word only - superb!
just a question about her eyes, really that white?

^ +1 I really like it.

the more i look at it though the more the arms look awkward?

Very nicely done. I don't think the arms are awkward for the movement she is making.

Thanks for passing by.
Yep. no PP on this image. everything is done with the lighting.

may be because one shoulder is in the shadow ? we tried different gestures and finally came back to the first one, which was the most natural for her.

beautiful!

^^^^^^ X2 WOW...

Gorgeous.. and classic. The only change I'd make is to remove the modern day charm bracelet. ... but overall, this is really a *Wow!* shot.

Thanks everyone for the good words.

classic ? I didn't know ? What is the origin ?

I think it's very well done. You can take all the suggestions and compare them to what you might have been expecting or looking for in the finished product but it's a question of taste.

Since this was "strobe practice", in which I also engage frequently, I'd just ask if you got more comfortable with the settings and likely results from your strobes.

BTW, I invested in a wireless remote shutter release so I can be my own model when everyone else is just remembering places they need to be.

Lovely. The brightness of the light on her necklace means I keep being drawn to that detail rather than the model's face.

Extremely well done. The only critique I can offer is that the position of the fingers-- the pointer fingers stand out-- would have liked to see more spread out fingers--instead of just focused on one. (if you understand any of my jibberish)
Again-- well done.

Nice image. I think you light needs to be lower though. I find the very long shadow under the nose unappealing. you may try moving the light towards you and down some. You could also could bump up your fill light (if you used one)
