I think you both did a fantastic job...

I have two issues in the first one. I dont like seeing the bottom of the foot and on the image left the cloth she is laying on, I would probably burn that down a bit. The wrinkles are distracting a bit.

#2 I might crop a bit different but a great shot anyway.

#3 I see the bottom of the feet again but otherwise love it.

I have this thing about the bottom of feet. They just arent pretty to me.

Nice Job, comments about the feet are little things that sometimes you miss, but once they are pointed out, you can see how it affects photo. Can you share how your lighting was set up? Kind of looks like you had a strip overhead. My compliments again.

Funny how someone can point something out and then you cant ignore it. I never noticed the feet until it was pointed out and now i cant stop but to notice them. oh well. Great job otherwise, i am sure after the adjustments you will be very pleased. Cheers.

The first 2 photos are great, the foot thing doesn't bother me, but the 3rd photo, this really isn't the most attractive post for the model's face. It seems to be a combination of the makeup used and the shadows applied in this pose.

Otherwise, great work on the other photos.

Thanks for the comments, as for lighting I had a medium soft box right at the top of her head and a snoot towards the back right side of the images.

Nice work, Paul. I like the last shot the best.

I'd agree with preferring not to see the bottom of the feet -- they always look dirty. Maybe it's our studio floors! The second shot is warmer and looks great, but seeing it next to the cooler tones, I think I like the netting really white like you have it in the last shot.

Let me come out of the closet and say I like her feet.

Also, the photos are great. I like number 1 best but would like to see it cropped so there wasn't so much space at the top.

Thanks!
