Two portraits from work.

Both images look like crap with the watermark on them. Simple people are simple people. Can't get around it. If somebody is desperate enough to steal these low res,limbs clipped off, zero-in-on-her tits images, I'm sure they're pretty bad off. Consider it charity.

Derell, dude.....what can I say? If you are going to play naughtey I'm going to play naughty. I would say to you that you don't need to worry about someone stealing your photos.
Really, some people on this forum need to get a grip and quit being so desperate and vile.
I've seen your shots Derrel and you wish you had shots this good, so you cut this poster down with no crit, baseless banter. Spend the time you spend here cutting people down, doing photography homework and not trolling. Show us you are the master you say you are. Show us with your photos and not a lot of words. Show us your mastery.
You have been trolling this forum, and I mean that literally, for a few years, and you are still here, and I can't image why. Show us your commercial/fashion shots. I wait with eager anticipation.

Man you really have nothing nice to say do you Derrel. Your first comment I found comical, but now you are being quite rude. I understand this is your opinion, but mostly you are stating simply obvious things that are general knowledge and making them seem like negative aspects of photography. If you're going to bicker with other people on this website, I ask you to take it to PM's because I don't want this crap in my posts. You already stated you didn't like the way I watermarked it. Thanks, I understand, theres a reason I did it. Move on to the next thread.

Second. They are not zoomed on her breasts. This is the only thing you've said so far to rub me the wrong way. If the first thing you look at when viewing these is her breasts, it's something about you. I cropped it so the focus would be on her amazing eyes. In neither of the photos is her breasts in the center of the photo. And yes, some of her limbs are chopped. I meant it to be like this. As I said earlier, I have another shot where her limbs are not chopped and the photo is very bland compared to this.

I understand your problems with the photos, please move on to comment on some one else's thread.

I think a little curves adjustment to increase the exposure and a bit more saturation looks good.

Her cleavage looks OOF to me.

For the hip bone, I think you could use the liquify tool and tone it down a little bit. Just don't over do it and make her look like a boneless freak

Oh, and the image and model are really beautiful. Agree with the exposure (which you commented on) and curves adjustment.

What would you guys suggest to do with the hip? I'm not really sure how I would correct that?[/QUOTE]

You could have her turn her hips slightly to the side and shift her weight a little, but it may change the look you are going for. Other than that their's not much you can do about it unless you are good with the liquify tool.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I checked the original file and the cleavage is in focus, Also the original file is a bout a stop brighter, I'm not sure why it looks dark on here. Maybe the hosting website compressed it weird or something.

Hmmm. I'm not sure if I'm good enough with Liquify to knock that hip down a little bit. I'll give it a try though and see how it comes out.

mmm yeah, I'm trying to really work on studying poses and learn how to correct the little things while I'm with the client in the midst of the shoot instead of after. but I'm still really new at this. I'm just super lucky to be an assistant for an amazing photographer and get to do stuff like this every day! I'm being a sponge.
