Nice. Love how her lines lead from the corner to nearly the right upper ROT intersection.
The shadow on her right/our left side is a little rough for me. Wish there was a reflector or something to fill over there a bit.

I agree; good posing but the shadow on the right side of her face is just too deep. A reflector camera left would have made this shot!

Yeah shadow is a little rough. We were at a relatives house in Rockaway, NY and we decided to go for a walk and I brought the camera with me.

 

[Ballistics]

Yeah, I don't even think I can fix that in post.

She is very pretty. She reminds me of the girl from one of "The Transporter" films.

From a noob technical opinion, the shadow on her face to me is harsh. Still though nice looking image.

Edit, I guess I should have responded right away instead of looking for the title of that film on IMDB. lol!

 

[Ballistics]

The shadow on her face wouldn't happen to be harsh by any chance would it?

Yep, but I didn't realize until I posted. It was just the first image though, not the second.

Just imagine if I didn't!

I should have said no just to mess with you.

Maybe try to sun on her back next time with a reflector to fill it in. Great place to shoot with lots of nice spots. Also I've found with raillings, have her stand in front of the verticle beam so it doesn't draw your eye from her.

Nubbed fingers on her left hand.

Good tip.

Major; The first photo, I agree that he shadow (contrast between strong light and shadow) should be minimized next time. Also, you could go ahead and crop the sky out of the picture since it is doing nothing for the shot anyway. At the risk of setting up for ill feelings, do you think you could make certain suggestions as to her earrings, for instance? The first shot has one of those feathers blowing across her neck, and it kind of spoils the shot.

Similarly, in the second shot, you could just ask her to brush the hair back a little, which would help a lot. Furthermore, I think the frame should have been moved to the right. Here her hair is cropped on the right side of the frame, but the background shows too prominately on the left.

Speaking of which, if you are going to do any pp work on this, you could clone out the dark spots on the horizon.
