Another Portrait Try - Jennifer - C&C Please

I think these turned out ok. Tried using very little pp on these. Basically cropped, mild sharpnening on the eyes, and a tiny bit of acne removal on the chin. Other than that not much done to them.

Looking for any c&c or tips that might help me improve. (Don't worry, I've got thick skin and really want to get better, so constructive critiques help)

On the second one the angle of her legs makes them look kind of chunky.

On the last one great Shot I love it!

1 and 3 are beautiful! 2 is great, but i agree w/ Redbarren there.

Nice work!

they're all nice. I gotta say, i like #2 the best... the above comments are right on the legs, i suppose. also i wish the toes weren't lost in the angle... seems like all might have been saved by shooting from another foot or so camera left.
good set!

Ncie series. Nice lighting and posing. #2 is my favorite.

I like this series, good job

Very nice set of pix. I would suggest a bit more vibrance in #1 to bring out the color a bit more. (Note that I am comparing these to the others and am working on a laptop for a short time since being out on location; so this could just be monitor talking.)

I agree with the others comments on the legs in #2. While the pose, lighting and the rest is very well done, the angle is not complimentary to her legs. You might try a little liquify to adjust these just a bit.

#1 is the best of the bunch, good exposure, good background separation, great expression, and a natural pose. Nicely done.

#2 is a tough one. I want to like it but it just doesn't do anything for me. I would have posed the right hand so it was not so flat to the camera, but as has been mentioned, the legs just look oddly posed.

#3 has the makings of a great picture, but the pose is kind of stiff, the right hand is square to the camera again, and the black on black makes her blend into the background. There's no EXIF, but it might have helped to slow down the shutter speed to get more ambient and thus more separation.

The bent legs makes her look super short and chunky. When you're working with someone that's a bit shorter, have her not bend her legs so much. The distortion on the edge of your lens makes her arm look fat too. Good light though

Another inch to the left and you'd see the big bright area outside the alley, would have blown the shot... believe me I tried, and thought the same thing as I was shooting... lol

I think the first and third are the best number 1 is my fav

Nice shots. The first one would be my favorite with the 3rd being a close second.
