Starting to venture into portraits C&C please

This is my first shot ive done in this field. The day was kind of overcast so no blue sky..and i didnt use my flash because my stupid ass forgot my batteries for it.

Very nice background for this picture! even though the lighting is a little dark i personally dont think it takes away from this shot. i like that shes holding the flower.. the pose seems a little uncomfortable, but works none the less. Shes got that seductive look to her eyes..kind of like a temptress or something lol

 

Very nice shot, although I think she has a bit too much headroom.

 

nice! The pose seems slighty strained though.

Inwas thinking of the same thing. I may crop it some. Tha k you guys for feedback. It helps greatly!

 

updated....my fav is #1. What do u guys/gals think?

 

You did well without the flash. Unlike PF, I might have liked them a little darker. A half stop?

Though probably unnecessary, I like the blurring in 3 and 4. Was that done in camera?

 

Yeah those were done in camera. Really all I did is used a couple filters and added some light to give it an effect by using a reflector. (which i didnt have).

 

i love 3
she looks awkward in 1

but overall they look good!

 

Thanks!
