Local Ottawa beauty

Saw this girl beauty walking down the street and asked her if she mind taking her photo. I just gave her a little direction on how I would like her to pose.

I think she needed to lose the "bug eye" sunglasses...

Not being drawn in if I can't see the eyes!

I agree, those glasses don't work for these close shots.

I don't know, maybe if you were farther back and there was more of here in the image.

This close in, you need those eyes!

Glasses are fine, they just don't fit her look. Her shades scream attitude, she herself is very meek.

Her arms crossed kinda says - I'm feeling defensive! Same with the shades.
I guess what else can you expect when a stranger comes up to you and says "can I take your picture?"

Exposure looks nice though.

photogs are crazy, aint we? would be nice to see her eyes

I'd agree with the crossed arms statements.. I think with a different pose the glasses would have worked better as well, maybe with a more "fashion" oriented pose.
