Hi group.
It's is great to see a thriving active group like this, as so many critique groups fail. It's the first time I post here and in-fact on fstoppers. Although I do pass out likes and occasional comments. So a big hello to everyone.
I've attached a picture, which if you could be so kind, I would really appreciate any feedback good and/or bad.... I can take it.. I think.
I've kept my edits to a minimum trying to push more from the shoot.
Many thanks.
Gav.
Welcome Gavin.
I think this is a pretty girl but I'm not a huge fan of our expression of her pose. Her eyes look good; she's got the "squinch" but her mouth feels a little bland to me. The pose feels awkward and her hand feels like it's about to break to me.
Your lighting also looks a little flat to me but I'm having a hard time figuring out how you lit it. What is the catch light in the bottom of her eye?
Hi Lee. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
The hand gesture was a bit of a try and see. It might need a little more experimentation, if it's going to work.
The catch light you mention would have been from a reflector. I wanted to soften the main light but the reflector may have pushed it too far and that makes it flatter I suspect.
Definatley some fantastic feedback! Thank you for your support!
