2 Portraits for C & C

Morlar

Here are a couple of portraits for review if anyones interested - you cant see the models eyes or face clearly and this is intentional - I was trying for a warm interesting looking picture with these ones.

Very good... I prefer the first one. You certainly got the warm interesting look alright.

very nice Morlar. I like them both but would pick #2 as my pref.

theres a tiny bit of bg detail I would burn out, but thats me.

very nice.

I also prefer the 2nd one Morlar.
Did you use studio strobes for the lighting or a standard on/off
camera flash ?

Well yes,you succeeded in getting two great shots there morlar.i too prefer the second one.really warm and lovely light.I like them a lot,well done.

Thanks all for the comments - I think the 2nd one is better too - PS it was using hotshoe connected wirelessly to the main softbox light which was firing the flash (when it worked that is).

2nd one is better imo, nice colour in both pics though. Very like a picture from some of them wimmens mags (not that I would know anything about that):o

There's something about these that I just can't put my finger on. They are fun, but at the same time there's something soft and feminine going on there, it's really good. I love the colour of her hair!

Something doesn't seem to fit with the outfit though, it's quite formal for the style of picture - but maybe you did that on purpose to create a bit of a conflict/contrast? I suppose if she was wearing something white and floaty it'd be a bit cheesy I suppose.

Great shots morlar ,I like both myself ,number two a bit more because theres more movement.
The girl looks like shes submerged in water ,or swimming .nicely done.:)

Yep I was wearing a dress when I took that one hehe - Thanks all for the comments. I prefer the 2nd one as well.

Re the formal outfit that was for some others that I had in mind and havent processed yet - there were also some where I made them look all gloomy with dark browns and dark orange type colours in the processing I havent finished those either and am not 100% sure they will work. Thanks again.

I actually like the 1st one better.

I feel in the second one the hair is just distracting, like "move your damn hair woman, I can't see your face", where as in the 1st the hair is the focus of the picture more so works more for me.
