I was contacted by someone a few days back who wanted some photos taken before returning to Moscow... so here's one I took - tough work...

Question is I can't decide whether to leave the dark clump of seaweed in or try to take it out. Any opinions?

Cheers

Seaweed? Depends. Do you feel a need to reinforce the sense of place? If so and want to reinforce the "beachy-ness".... leave it.

Nice work... pose POPS!

Honestly I didn't see the seaweed at first. She's stunning.

Are you just rubbing it in :lol:

Looks like a scorpion is after her, I don't feel you need it to indicate it's a beach shot.

Thanks for the comments. I've taken out a couple of blobs which I hadn;t noticed untill they were pointed out. But in the end have kept the seaweed - for the minute anyway.

There's a few more form the shoot here if anyone wants to take a look.......

Geoff,

Just had a look at the rest of the pics, great shots. I can imagine how 'tough' it is to photograph someone who the camera seems to love.

Indeed it would be a tough job to keep focussed on taking photos. Still, someone must do it. :D
