What's new

Maybe NSFW, what do you think?

I feel numbers 1 and 2 are the strongest, with 4 falling in line after that. Overall, I like them! Beautiful model, and great motivation behind them! (And yes, definitely NSFW!) My C&C, for your reading pleasure..

#1 - I really like the pose. I think the rail is a bit distracting, in large part due to it being crooked. I also think her stomach and chest are too bright. I'm guessing it's a combination of her face being more tan than her midsection, and the strobe pointing a bit too much in the middle? The brightness draws my eye away from her face.

#2 - I think this is the best of the bunch, IMO. The only thing I can think of, would be employing a shallower DOF. Not sure what gear you were working with, so I don't know if it would have been possible. I think there is just too much detail in her shoulder and beyond, which again draws me eye away from her face. I also feel she is underexposed a tad. I like the catch light in her eyes, and the overall pose. I would like to see either a full on smile, or more seductive. She seems to be in a half smile for this photo. Otherwise, I really like this one!

#3 - This one, honestly, just doesn't do much for me. The pose doesn't feel very provocative, and the facial expression seems very neutral. On the plus side, I think you got the exposure closer on this one.

#4 - I think this one could have been the best of the set, but two things held it back for me. One, the shadows under her nose and in her eyes are too dark, maybe adding a reflector? I can't see her eyes due to the shadows, and that's a big distraction for me. Secondly, I feel the image beyond her, is too plain, too monochromatic, and too easily recognized as carpet. Maybe a nice print fabric, or plain white or black? I do, however, really like the pose on this one, it's the most provocative, to me. I also think the camera angle is a little too high. I think getting the camera much closer to the ground would really utilize this pose even more!

Anyway, that's just my (hopefully) helpful observations!
 
I think they are a tad on the dark side...but i don't think its anything that cant be fixed in post. the posing in #3 was a little bland and the rail behind her was a bit distracting, but I liked the rest.
I think the shirt should come off for the next set. that's just me tho. I think #2 is the best in this set, with #4 as a close second.

Thats a helpful critique. :thumbdown:

OP, they all seem a little dark to me but, I'm a noob so I'm not the best one to judge. The second one is my favorite.

Also, I can view this on my safari browser on my iPad but, not on the TPF app on my iPad.

Oh! and congratulations on a hopefully healthy and happy baby!

I know they are on the dark side, I was trying to give it a dark and sexy mood. You live and you learn right? oh and pixmedic: The shirt did come off and I got some really nice images. I don't think I am able to post them on here but I just wanted to share and get some feed back. Thank you guys for your C&C

if your intent was to keep the tones a little darker, then you did fine. sometimes its a matter of personal taste, sometimes its a matter of the wrong iso or aperture, or shutter speed. just depends on what you are looking to achieve.

Sir, when I give my two cents I try to be as helpful as you have been. I thank you for your helpful critique and now that you have pointed out the good and the bad I know what to keep in mind for next time. As of now I have 2 AB800 and a nikon d90 with a 50 1.8 fixed and a 18-105 (thats what i used at f8 1/125) however I am going to the camera show down in san diego today in hopes of getting a 24-70. I think I'm ready for a big boy lens.
 
I think the eyeshadow is a little too heavy, which kind of cheapens the set. I like one on the floor. I like that the light is comming from one side, I think it gives it a more natural, and less glammy look - though I am not sure that this is what you were after. I wish there was some light on her face though. Shot directly overhead would have been cool, though if you don't have the gear I understand, neither do I.
 
Kind of a Sarah Jessica Parker doppelganger!!!
 
umm shed some light here fellas and what is a "sarah jessica parker DOPPELGANGER"
 
I agree with the popular opinion here. #4 could have been great with better fill, a tighter crop, and in my opinion different color shoes. I feel like the green is distracting. Also, instead of carpet, how about a dark hardwood floor?
