In the woods C+C

too much of the woods, not enough of the girl. For instance you have three feet of tree above her head, but you cut her legs off? Also could use some fill light on her face. The sun only directly hits her butt, which is a little weird.

What's wrong with cutting her legs off?

nothing but the crop leaves a lot of room on top. A tighter crop would help it. I would crop out the left side of her tree completely. Lift shadows a bit too.

nothing is wrong with cutting her legs off, its just awkward that she's cut off but there's so much tree

I like that one a lot more. Still would have liked to have seen more light on her face and less on her butt.

I agree that the hot spot on her but is very distracting. Always remember the eye is drawn to the brightest spot of the photo. This woman has a very nice rear, but I don't think that is exactly what you were looking to accentuate in this shot. This looks like it was shot pretty close to noon when the sun was directly overhead. A couple hours in either direction would give you a bit more shade to work with, and just a small pop with even an on camera flash would help fill in the shadows and give a little punch to the photo.

Directly over head? This was shot @ 4:35pm today lol.

The pose is a little too far to the side for me. You probably should've had her turn a little more towards camera...her dress makes her butt look funny.

suns still pretty high in the sky at 4:30...at least where I live this time of year, I can't get good sun cooperation till around 6:30 to 8:30

Because you photographed it silly.

Shot is not too bad. Have any others? I like the dress and how is has the same shade of green as some of the tree bark. Not sure if you planned that but it works pretty well.

It's the same here in Seattle.

The pose seems a little unnatural, as if she's posing at the direction of the photographer rather than doing her own thing. Need I mention it reminds me of phallic symbolism? Well, I just did. Also, the lime dress seems more suited to a discotheque than to a forest. I think clothing with a more natural theme would look better.

The slight tilt of the trees to the left (perhaps an illusion) combined with her angled "hands on tree" pose gives me the feeling she's pushing the tree over. This is mostly corrected in the second image, but the angled theme remains (leg-hemline-butt-forearm-shoulder).

I like the texture of the tree and the DOF is very nice. The light is good (exposure on dress a bit blown, but otherwise no problems).
