Very nice. Only thing I would have done differently would be a slightly closer crop and slightly more off center subject, but that's mostly taste. What did you use for your fill?

Thank you sir! I have thought about cropping it but I prefer this! Sun + gold/silver reflector left side

MolitorPhotography · Apr 15, 2015

It looked a bit warm so I thought maybe gold reflector. Nice job.

Thank you! This is the look I was going for.

There's a reason we call bras "underwear"!

I have noticed that after we left. There are things you learn with time and outside shoots aren't as smooth as studio work. Thanks for your input though.

True - easy to get rid of though.

I guess from my days doing senior portraits I'm always hyper sensitive about bra straps. Easy enough to clone out if it's a problem tho. Overall good shot.

Here is the image without the strap!

I looked at the whole set on the blog...they seemed kind of overly bright, so I pulled this one into LR to see what the sky had in it.

I like the look of the real light conditions more so than the key-shifted look, with the clouds removed via exposure shifting.

cream-tone, LR basic look

neutral-tone B&W

To me, the original presentation simply has too much bald sky. I think with a 12- or 14-bit RAW file to work with, this type of rendering could be done so it kept the warm gold tone, but also brought back some of the sky's beautiful clouds for interest.

These are good Derrel! Thanks for the suggestion! Funny thing is, I am the one who added in those clouds via Photoshop brushes

Derrel · Apr 16, 2015

Thanks, Cole. The clouds are really nice...I LIKED them, as soon as I took that exposure slider and started sliding it to the left! I think they are appropriate cloud types as well, which go well with that dramatic back/side-lighting.
