Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
Hey guys,

Yesterday, I did a shoot for a friend of mine who wanted photos to use for starting a portfolio as she is an aspiring model. This was the first time she'd ever had a photoshoot done of her and the first time I ever tried portrait photography one-on-one. Here are three shots; if you like them and would like to see more, let me know. Hope you guys enjoy my work!

Notes:
All photos were taken with a Nikon D3000 with a Nikkor F/1.8G AF-S lens at F/1.8 the entire time. All natural lighting. Processed in Adobe Lightroom 3.

Yep, beauty!

Good work!
 
Only complaint I have is I'd like to see both her eyes in the 3rd image.
 
The exceedingly bright upper right corner in the last one draws the eye away from the subject.
 
All images are great, I love the #3
 
Honestly, these are the best I've seen from a D3000. Very nice!

Beautiful model too.

My only CC is that in #3 the sun takes up too much of the frame, and I want to see both her eyes.

Post more!
 
Thanks for the comments and critiques everyone! On photo #3, I added that flare in there. In the original, there were trees and it made it seem kind of dark. I do understand what you guys are saying though and I appreciate the input. Here is another photo from this series.

I'm a little confused by the cropping in the first one...but for being yours and her first time, they look great.
 
Dear Folk;

#1 Strange composition with all that white space, and the crop has cut into the model.
#2 Nice pose, good lighting and focus, but odd framing and crop.
#3 Not enough model, too much glare, and the tilt does not help ameliorate all the flaws.

I think you should try again.
