Clarity, focus and lighting is amazing. These are excellent shots.

(Also, the first one looks like she's inside of the ground. Made me lol.)

no.3 and no.7 are my favourite, very nice shots

I'll second that #3 and 7 are the best of the bunch. #1 is just a wierd angle looking like she has only half a body. #2, 4 and 5 appear tilted to the right a bit.

Love your WB and sharpness of the shots. Processing looks really smooth.

Here are some nitpicks. I think the shots are great though! In #1, I wish you would have moved to the right or left a bit to show her body. In #3, I think it would have been much more flattering to her if her whole face was tilted up a bit more. The eyes look great though! In #4 her hand on the ground has an unnatural placement. If she had moved it more to her right then I think it wouldn't be as odd looking to me. #7 & 8 aren't very flattering to her because she is hunching a little bit. But as I said, these shots are great!

I like the set very much, I was reading your post from a year ago, and I liked the set then, but I like the new one better.

in the first photo how did you get the bokeh effect surrounding her?

Thanks for all the comments guys. The criticism is very helpful.

Its simply a bokeh texture added in post. I dont know if I like it or not.

#3 is my favorite.

The first shot is nice also though Im not digging the bokeh texture. It seems too close to the subject, if you know what I mean....

1, 6, & 8 are my favorites. I love the lighting on all of these, beautiful. Is the bokeh-like circle pattern on the first picture photoshopped? If so, I think it's a little much and takes away from the beautiful model and colors.

Nice set. Colors are great. What was you're lighting?

Really nice set. Good color, sharp, good posing.

Except for #1 - that just doesn't work. Unless she really doesn't have any legs, or waist. I do like the effect you used there though. The image is technically terrific but artistically doesn't work at all.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'll try #1 again with less opacity on the texture and see how it looks.

Vivitar 285HV at 1/4 power shot through a 33(ish)" umbrella camera right.

Love them all.
