Heres a few I did in the studio yesterday, love to hear what you think.












I should have the rest of the series up (www.flickr.com/photos/shanenolan )over the weekend and I already noticed the hand missing on the second last shot, have to photoshop one in me thinks

I like the 2nd one a lot. I think its a strong composition though looking at the full sized version on flickr (this one http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=473411589&size=l) it could possibly do with some unsharp mask being applied in photoshop, unless you were aiming for a slight soft effect.

There is also an area of hard black in the lower right hand side of the picture, this could be due to burning in the processing ?

Also a smudge of black above her left hand I noticed these in the lower sized versions and they are more noticeable in the full sized one on flickr. Its the sort of thing that might not be noticeable using a monitor which is calibrated to be darker and I have had it happen to me with my own pictures where I only noticed it on a work monitor.

Of the rest of the pics the first is pretty good too. Though I am not sure about the slight purple-ey cast on the wall and the models hands. I dont know if it was intended or not - if it wasnt intended then adjusting the white balance at the raw file level would remove it.

The colouring and tones in the third one are spot on - I think it could benefit from an unsharp mask being applied. Also the crop gives it an uncomfortable feel.

Of the last pic I would move the crop up to remove the line of the back of the models jeans - seeing the line doesnt add anything and removing it makes it more visually interesting.imo.

I like the last one, nice lighting and symmetry. The rest dont really appeal to me at all. The pose in the first one seems out of balance, compositionally, 2 & 3 dont do it for me - not sure whats down the front right on the second one but its distracting. Also for me, the cutting of arms and legs from the frame take away from the shots. No 3 & 4 have good potential, but i cant see past the missing arms and feet, especially in no 4 as the eye is led straight to the missing hand, nice colour in 3 but as the lighting is focusing on the face i dont feel the need to have the tips of hands and feet out of the frame..dont get me wrong, i'm all for a tight crop but not to the detriment of balance..
