Maternity ~ Tell me what you think

[quickphotography78]

Let me know what you think or what I could do to make the shot better.

1,3,4,5 all seem a little bit soft to me.
I like 2 alot though, nice focus and lighting!

 

[Boomn4x4]

They are all soft. What were your settings?

#2 looks like she has amputee thumbs

All photos are soft and noisy - ISO 800 and 1/15s shutter speed is why.

I really like the last one.. but i agree. they do seem a little soft. the second one, her shadow is a little distracting

The last two are nice in that they show me the subject matter. I see they are maternity shots while the other two didn't really. Sorry all of them are soft. As fokker mentioned your ISO was too high and your shutter speed to slow.

Was hard to tell she was preggers...perhaps more of a side shot would help?

I don't mean to be cruel, but the last one looks as if her water just broke.

First rule of thumb is to have your model 6' to 8' fron the background. this will diminish / eliminate the shadow on the wall because of the inverse law and focuses attention on the subject.

Secondly, if it bends..... bend it. As in #2. The straight arm syndrone plagues many a frustrated photographer. It is akin to the deer in the headlights look.

Be mindful of how you crop limbs and extremities. There is a way that can be more appealing. In a nutshell, mid-way between the joints.

These are NOT terrible, but with more time behind the viewfinder and due diligence in researching those particulars that are not coming across as dynamic at the moment, can and will be improved upon down the road.

Thanks for sharing.
