Very pretty model and you really have her popping in the shots. I like your use of the sun and reflectors.
My only beef would be to position her so the wires don't go through her head.

oi Kevin! :)
nice work man! I will have to make some comments wishing you only the best:

1
move your models off center a bit. There are exceptions where this works, but usually it doesn't. The pics look empty behind the model

2. When shooting darker skinned models during the golden hour, reduce the RED channed ever slightly either in DPP or PS (color saturation)

3 pay attention to details (or don't be lazy with your processing) - I can see dark halo around her in #1 (busted!:))

really nice exposures, clean and really I am pretty darn impressed!

Great model and great shots.

I'm sort of torn on what korrektor said about moving her off center... he is the absolute best at giving advice and constructive criticism on POTN but I think this might be one of those rare exceptions to the rule where that actually works... but like I said, he is the guy to listen to around here so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

also, there are a couple of spots in the first image to the left of the model's head that look like might be sensor dust.

thanks guys. most of my shots have the model off center. i have no idea how the 2 i picked first had her dead center :lol:

misha, i'm gonna edit some more tonight. i'll try reducing the red channel and i'll pay a little closer attention to the processing.

marco...she was a blast to shoot with. i'll try to post up one or two of her goofing around. she was dancing around all day and we didn't even have any music on :lol:

Good job, Kevin.

Good exposure and the natural lighting is working nicely. :)
