C&C welcome!

I am torn on whether to bump this thread or just post better pictures (I'll do both)

Here's my C&C

#1 and #2 are way over-processed. #3 seems washed out but it is brighter on my computer (any fix for this in post-processing?).
I needed more fill flash (?) to bring out tones in skin and put light in the eyes.
I *really* need to work on my model direction, though I think my locations were interesting.
I cut off her foot in #2

I don't think any of them are over-processed... but I do thin you need to try again.

1. Just looks underexposed to me and I don't like the right side of the frame.

2. Her pose is awkward and you cut off her foot.

3. Location sucks. :lol:

I'm not a fan of musicians or models in residential areas unless there is an obvious purpose for it (that works with the concept).

Thank You. I really needed an objective opinion.

Is the Exposure better here? I like the WB (or temperature) a lot more.

Sorry you hate the location, I am Floridian (Miami) so the Architecture is still engaging to me on these overcast days. But I appreciate the feedback! Any technical advice you can provide would be immensely helpful.

I only hate the last location with her standing between the houses. :lol:

I think your exposure is fine in the newest photo you posted. I'm not really a fan of how the image makes everything feel like the world is tipping to the right, haha. Your model isn't very engaging... if she were doing more than just staring blankly at you and standing there, I think you'd have some cool stuff to work with... but unfortunately that's all she seems to be doing. Lots of layers, and ripped up stockings does not a model make. :lmao: Her face hasn't changed *at all* between any of the 4 images you posted, and the way she's just standing in all of them make it seem as though you were just shooting off test shots and she was waiting for you to *really* get started, you know?
