Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Ben, I think the second one is much better, but you need to pay a bit more attention to the background. The white strip directly behind doesn't help. It would be better if you moved away from the wall a bit more and reduced DoF.

The white strip in the background and the bit of furniture or whatever on the lower left hand side of the frame are a bit of a distraction.

But much better than the shots I take after a night out. :)

Edit...Phillip got there before me...nothing like simultaneous posts... :)

Do you mean if I had moved her forward more to get more DOF it would of given a better effect ? But I guess if I reduced it DOF it was be the same as the photo. I think i'm confusing myself :roll:

What I mean is move the model away from the wall and use an aperture of around f2.8 that way the background would be a bit more blurred.

:agree: with moving the model away from the background more and the placement of that white strip. Also you may want to have a look at the WB of the shot, it may just be my monitor but she seems a little whited out with maybe just a little bit of a blue tinge.

Otherwise, top shots.

:agree: with the others re: background.

You may want to balance flash and ambient a bit better ie increase your f stop and flash power so background is slightly darker and the light is slightly directional and soft(due to the wall on the left)
