Much better, Brendan! The poses are good, but I'd avoid showing the edge of the brick wall. It's an unwanted detail. Also, on image 15 the shadow on the neck is distracting. Did you experiment with a reflector? Obviously, the sun was very bright, which makes things more difficult. Did you try posing her on the bench with her head toward you and feet away from you? This can really emphasize the eyes nicely, but be careful of distortion if you're too close.
If you have room, you could try pulling the bench away from the wall, so the wall isn't in such sharp focus. Is there room (and suitable background) to shoot along the wall? Altogether, a good effort, and isn't it great to work with a shapely, flexible, confident model? Pat White - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
