I like the shot of her looking through the window. Nice pose and framing. You could work on the rendering and tonality a bit. I also like 5302, although her right knee bumping the edge of frame is a bit unhappy. Clipping body parts usually works as long as its a big cut and works well within the frame. Small cuts right at the edge of the frame usually don't work -- ditto, cutting of just the feet.
A good first effort. Paul On Oct 15, 2010, at 5:55 AM, Walter Gilbert wrote: > Hi all, > > Well, I had my very first photo shoot today. All things considered, I think > it went fairly well.
