Bowronfam3-what an AMANZING job editing! I really like how you edited my fav pic! thanks

 

[ShootHoops]

I like #4 also...as well as #7.

 

[pamcakes]

great pics! i just joined PhotoForum and am really impressed by the depth of knowledge and photographic skills of the members! i'm definitely a newbie, LOL!

 

[Corry]

I did a few re-edits.....

Any better?

 

[rp1600]

Much better. I particularly like #1. But also like the pose and composition in #2. I'd like to use it in my "pose" guide, if you don't mind.

Nice shots Cory, very good for your first time.

One thing to watch, it looks like she does the same thing I tend to do...which is tuck in my chin and pull my head back just a bit...when I am having my photo taken. I don't know why I tend to do that...but it really doesn't look great. It her case, it looks like she is pulling her chin back into her neck...just ever so slightly. If you can get her to pose so that she is pushing her head out from her body...just a bit, it may help. With larger people, you may need to get much higher than them and have them look up at you...but that's not required here.

I may be making this all up...I don't know...but it seems to make sense to me.

Thanks Mike...that is a good observation, and I'll try and watch for it next time. Thanks!

It is very true, and most women have a little extra skin on their necks. The thing to do is tell them to jut their chin out and then tilt it down, it will feel strange to them but look good for the camera.

Another vote for the 4th!

I edited the last picture and I think the colouring is more correct, but it still seems flat (even with all of my contrast changes)! So I converted it to B&W and cropped it a bit and I like it so much better!

I am by far no means an expert on lighting, for that I am in the beginning stages of learning my self. With that said, I wonder if a little fill flash may have helped. Nice work!

Corry,

Nice work. I really dig #4, very relaxed candid looking pose, my type of photo. #6 really rocks as well it just needs some better light but the setup works great.

Your eye for composition and obviously getting them in a great mood and making them feel relaxed is excellent. So many people get shots like this where the

I'll go with it.
