I didn't look at the others in detail too much yet because the Jazz Age one caught my eye, spot on in my opinion. Brill work.

Jazz age is very good. The arms just don't look right to me in the last one. They look truncated.

Holy crap...

I love that first picture. It's so natural, and intimate, and delicate. Gorgeous. Jumps out at me from ALL your other work - mature and classy. Fantastic stuff.

The second one is nice, but I'm afraid I was just too distracted by the first

The third is actually a lovely pose, I wouldn't have thought about the truncated arms although maybe since Darren pointed it out, it maybe is a bit strange. I really love the pose, though.

I guess I just have to be that guy...

The model has a beautiful nose... (not small nose, but beautiful nevertheless...)... And the shadows from nose... well in short words - extra shadow from nose edge on the first picture, same shadows but bigger on the second, and third... how to put it... need to be removed

or soften a little bit.

Otherwise it's almost perfect - the lighting, the pose, the model, the photographer

I think the 2nd one is the best, but all are excellent. I don't have anything constructive to say as I never worked in a studio environment with a model myself, so good job

Jazz age is a really nice portrait.

wow.

three didnt do it for me, it's the position of the arms and it's not as soft as the other two both in mood and resolution.
but one and two were wow, very soft, classy..poetic even
nice one.

I like the 1st one BUT ............

does anybody else think that the shadow in her armpit makes her look like she has hairy armpits??

Fajitas! · 24-10-2006 2:53pm

Lol, that's what came to my mind...

Would be my only crit with it!

Yeah - no problem with the photograph at all. It is a great shot.
Just a shame about the hairy pits.
