...sorta. :lol: I actually just assisted a senior shoot today, but it was a good time and it went smoothly. Unfortunately, I didn't have a transmitter or sync cord, so I couldn't use lights and had to rely on modeling lights in the studio, but it's all good! Here is one I liked so far. Any tips?

I like it. It might be a bit overexposed for some peoples taste. Really like the DOF.

Looks good to me. Sharp image and the eyes look good. It might be a tad overexposed, but being she is light complected that could be why it appears so. Maybe if you cool the skin tons down a little it might look better. Also you could remove the 'stray' hairs around her head...just a nitpick.

Nice job.

EXPO looks good on my end, great shot. Good work. To Critique I think you could bring the eyes out more but it works as is.

I agree - the lighting is great and she looks good. The only thing that looks a touch off to me is the angles - the two tree trunks come from the top corners to the bottom center, and nicely draw your eye to her - but the angle of her head is more tilted outward than the trunk near her, which looks odd to me. If her head angle either matched the LH trunk or perhaps a little less (so the angle was between the two) it might look better.

Just my $.02..:)
