Finished up Cait W.'s set :)

Although, I do have to say....I miss your old watermark with the huge line running through the image

Yeah.. what is up with that? You don't want to put some time masking **** up anymore for a watermark??? So lazy!

I think it's all been said already. Well done Rose!

Thank you! :sillysmi:

Man, love them and so glad I was here to watch you grow from the beginning (shopping for a dslr) to now. HUGE difference and its great.


#5 with the lens flare is awesome imo.

Haha, thank you!! Man, you remember how STOKED I was when I got the "okay" to buy one? I didn't even HAVE it yet, and I was posting the SH*TTIEST images from my P&S!!! Ah man. :lmao:

And yeah... that watermark... I miss 'im too.

I love #4. Others have the tree branches growing from head. I get confused when sometimes that is mentioned and sometimes not. She is freakin gorgeous!

I don't know what everyone else's opinion on this is, honestly, but... to me... she's in the woods. The only way she's *not* going to have trees coming out of SOMEWHERE... is if I totally blow away the background with a shallow DOF... and I did that in some shots, but in others... I just wanted it to be more... environmental, I guess? I dunno. I wasn't too concerned about it here to be honest with you.

Others may feel differently.

Now, if we were in an open park where there were only 1 or 2 larger trees behind her... yeah I would have made sure not to position her so that there was a tree "growing out of her head"... but... we were in the woods.

Hey man, I wasn't shooting nearly as often back then. I could still do it now... but yeah. I'm lazy.

Cool thing is, we've all "grown" from this site. (At least, I like to give all the harsh CC credit on helping my hard headed ass out )

Oh, I totally agree! Haha! I wouldn't be where I am as quickly as I've gotten there without so many honest people.

I love them, except that in #2, she has become some kind of deer. Other than that little biological oddity, very attractive model, very attractively photographed!

Everyone else has already complimented the things I would specifically compliment so I'll just say - EXCELLENT SET!!

 

[EIngerson]

Wow, I know I'm late to the party, but STUNNING SET!

2 and 3 have horrible backgrounds. The branches are ugly and distracting in those frames. #4 as well, ugly background. I DO however like the "scene you set" in shot #7, with the OOF foreground branches and the messy, tangled background of winter-time trees. She's a very attractive woman, so for many people it'd be somewhat easy to overlook the jarring, hashy OOF tree limbs in some of the shots. Your processing and color palette looks very nice! Clean, crisp, attractive,consistent. The branches sprouting out of her head in frame #2...awful. And #5, yes it's a horizontal, and it's a very weak,unattractive composition. She's hacked off, mid-arm, mid-waist, and there's a tree trunk in the center of the frame...it's a weak composition that does nothing well. I do like late afternoon sunlight used directly, as you did in shot #4--I LIKE that look, and always have, as long as the subject could avoid looking too squinty, and in the winter time, that's pretty easy, since the sun is weak, even though it's direct. I do not like the OOF tree limbs in the upper left corner though in shot #4...very distracting. The rest of the background is well-controlled, but the upper left corner has a very active,strong, diagonal OOF branch in it, which ruins the shot for me. Maybe you will say you "wanted it that way" r that you like it that way, or that it is "part of a set" that has lots of leafless,winter-time branches in it. Her last name being Winter or Winters or whatever and all, you know?

You got a lot of "ooohs!" and "ahh's!" here---pretty, twenty-something redheads shot in warm lighting conditions will get those kind of "ooohs!" and "ahh's" and vaguely pervy sighs from collectives filled with middle aged white men. Lotsa' help those kind of "C&C's" are!!!! They really will help you up your game! The best time to self-evaluate these will probably be six months to a year from today's date. At that time your opinions of them will likely be somewhat different than it is today. It's often very difficult to self-evaluate work IMMEDIATELY upon finishing the set up...seeing so many similar frames, implementing so many similar processing fecisions, etc...tends to cause a bit of tunnel-vison.
