Mrs. H - probably NSFW

[jowensphoto]

It doesn't really seem like it's up to your usual standard...

Well, poo. Before I posted this, and even now really, I think it's a strong photo.... I actually thought this was one of my best yet. Another how we view our own work vs. how others see it conundrum!

I'll grab some others to post here in a bit.

I really enjoyed some of the other shots you took and have on you Flick site.

Thanks, I love those too (two different gals, same hat/pose).

While it is nice to hear those coents from both of you, its personally frustrating. The maternity photos are natural light and I photoshopped the living hell out of them (cloning, overlays, textures etc). This boudoir set used OCF exclusively, and I feel more attached to it than either of the maternity shoots.

Ugh, the plight of being an artist.

Offering my shoulder if you need it.

Ayup. You're getting a lot of negativity here, albeit of a gentle sort. Shake it off, TPF is not the arbiter of Good and Bad.

I've been around long enough to know how it is I do value feedback, good and bad, but I'm frustrated with myself at the moment.

Stop trying to take advantage of me in my vulnerable state

Here's my favorite from a recent boudoir session:

I like the composition, but the slightly furrowed brow makes me think she is not relaxed, and reminds me she is posing, and that takes away from the effect.

When I saw it I liked it! It's a winner to me!!!

I would turn 90 to the right, that give's me a more pleasant look.

Can someone private message me when the definitely NSFW Photos are posted?

 

[photoguy99]

I don't do critique but here's a question.

Imagine that the photo is all soft and purty. Who's hat is that?

Now look at the original. Same question.

This could be fixed in Photoshop or even Lightroom. I think that would make a difference to the look of this photo. Clarity slider and or spot removal should do the trick. Just my opinion.

I think Runnah's got it, I feel like I'm in too close and want to step back; this pose (and maybe the strong shadows too) seems to make her a lot of angles. And I noticed the creases in the forehead too, looking up and back probably caused it.

This might be one that needed adjustment when you framed the shot more than in post. I find whatever I'm working on sometimes the more I mess with it the worse it gets and I have to leave it, come back and then may see exactly what I need to do, or scrap it and realize it just didn't work the way I wanted.

I like the idea of this one, seems like maybe it was just a more challenging pose to capture.
