Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. 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. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

According to Kassie, this was her first photoshoot and she was really nervous. But i think she was having me on.

Used my new lightmeter for the first time today, so hopefully these have the exposure spot on!

Comments and Criticisms are more than welcome

These are all beautiful natural shots. I would say that if this is her first time she is in for a great career :)

I think lighting is best on pic #2 but there is something a little odd about the pose (in particular the way the water makes her body look). Over all the last shot is my fave.

Nice shots. The lighting in #2 gives some greater depth to the model's face than the other shots but there are wierd shadows from the flashes. Be nice for those flashes have a softer edge on the body IMO.

exposure is without a doubt spot on, skins tones are great.

3rd one is the pick for me.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

#3 is a great shot. nice to see a beautiful girl smile once in a while instead of always going for the pouty look which sometimes comes acroos too staged.
