Two Beautiful Women

[Jeatley]

I did two shoots last week and I just fell in love with a couple shots. Always looking to get better I post them here. All comments welcome. Both girls wanted shots, um out of the box. They told me to show them some cool stuff. So messing around in LR3 and CS4 this is what I came up with!

1) I think #1 is the strongest. Lighting is good, although she is in an awkward leaning position.

2) Not sure what you were going for with this shot. I don't care about being "politically correct" at all, but showing her smoking is just kinda gross, in my personal opinion. And the editing, which looks like you have adjusted the clarity quite a bit, makes her look much older than in the first image. If you are going for reasons not to smoke - this kind of works. Sorry but I'm just not a fan.

3) I like it, but think it would be stronger if you pulled back a touch on the PP.

4) She's green. I Love the background color, but would love to see her looking more natural.

5) Again not a huge fan of the PP but she has a great smile in this one.

I think these are fairly solid images, but with a lighter editing hand they could be quite good!

About first lady: i liked her in the second; Even though i don't like smoking habits i loved her attitude in this image and she stands out in a rather shabby surroundings

About second lady, i really loved the third image, because her cheerfulness diffuses out up to the viewer

The temple of the lady in the first image, need a touch up?

If you ask me to vote out one from the list, i would do that on the third image

Regards

Thanks!

She wanted some shots with the cigarette. She wanted me to push the limit. Plus we both smoke. I think it works with making her fit the surroundings. Homeless look?

Thanks

]We were thinking Matrix color. the movie was on while I was editing

Just trying to get out the box. Yeah I loved her smile too. I go back and forth on this one. One day I love it, One day I want to reedit

Thanks I liked the edgy look to it.


Thanks again about 3rd image.

Oh and about the temple, it is just how her head is shaped... LOL I need to see if I can work on that.... LOL

Even when I smoked (which wasnt long ago)... I was still disgusted by Cigarettes, especially in Photos. There is nothing 'pleasing' to the eye with the cigarette in this shot. If you were going for a bad girl or homeless look.... imho, Her clothing selection doesnt lead you to think shes homeless. Nor does lead you to think shes a bad girl..lol... Just a pretty lady with a nasty cigarette.
Also, I think this shot ( more specifically--- her face)looks to have gone through way to much post processing. Actually, looks sort of HDR-ish. Eh.

The rest of the shots are nice.
Those are my nit picks... Ill shut up now. :lmao:

I can understand that. I understand but I will defend my photo. She sat next to me through the editing and saw other photos that she liked. So this was to please her and I think it did. By no means was it her favorite, but she liked the shot. Just for the humor and different from normal.

I still do understand and respect all of yall comments and would like them to keep coming.

Thanks again! Now I did not expect that shot to be so controversial. OH I have no clue if that is spelt right?
