A quick shoot with Cassie in downtown Detroit. Lighting conditions were changing pretty dramatically as we walked the streets. Comments welcome.

Hey Przemek, I think the second shot is much better than the first shot. Shot 1 reasons: The overall lighting is rather flat and the lighting on her is cold. She looks blue/gray. Perhaps it is just my monitor but there appears to be a green streak in the lower right corner. I would crop the bottom of the photo a little higher. It looks like you are almost cropping through her elbow which most people would say is a no-no. Don't crop through body joints. As for Shot 2: The lighting is much better and more interesting. Nice rim light from the sun. The pose looks much better than the first shot where the pose looks forced. Nice light in the eyes. Just a much better shot. I'm sure if you do your own comparison between the two photos you will be able to pick out why the second photo is much better.
Thank you so much for the comment. Yes. The first shot was captured in between two streets with little sun light coming through that's why it does look a bit flat and blue/gray. The green streak is a leaf from a flower that was just in front of her :) I could probably crop it higher and retouch the remaining green piece.
