So I moved out of my dad's house. Got my own place, and set up a studio where my dining room is supposed to be. Finally got to use my backdrop and everything... it was awesome.
I got to test it out with Tricia - here are some of my favorites. Comments welcome!
Agree with Sean; #1 just looks 'off'; rather like you caught her just as she was getting ready to pose. #2 is very nice, but two points: You've cropped her left arm along its axis which is an unforgivable sin and one light seems a bit out of place since her right shoulder is brighter than I thik is ideal.
#3 us a great concept, but for me, the DoF is just too thin. Again, there's a lot of (IMO) unnecessary light on her chest.
#4 is the winner; lovely look and very nice lighting. This one just works!
