Hey Dan you have a groove of your own now. I like all the stuff you shoot and now admire your appreciation of skin and its tonal values.
Great stuff Mate

Thanks mate.....i think i am pushing myself a little more these days but most of my posts just slide on by with a gezillion looks but no comments good or bad

I really like #3 - interesting idea. Very good.

I love the circular catchlights in #2 and totally agree with that #3 is pretty smart.

I'll play devils advocate here and say that (right or wrong) perhaps everyone is so used to your images being of the highest quality they expect to see nothing less than that every time you post here? I can only really talk for myself but I know every time I see a post from you without opening it, I already know its going to be of the highest quality, and far better than I could do.

#2 the color of the eyes kinda look funny to me, and detract from the overall image i think.
#3 great image with awesome composition and idea behind it, that color in the eyes is still there tho, just... lol.

Thanks again for the replies

I guess what i am trying to say is i am along way of being 'quality' there are many areas i can improve on and when i do get crit here it helps me enormously.

Thanks again for taking the time to see my imagery.

hi dan,

not sure of the words to use, but #1, personally I dont like it. I usually dont like nudes, so that may be half of the reason. then I also dont like anything kind of S&M and the rusty mesh introduces that for me. prudish arent I?

#2 left me wanting to see her left eye, but I like the lighting.

#3 I love. I like the light in the shot, and the simple blue and white walls. two things bother me some, her bright scalp (maybe, just maybe paint over that a touch???), and the corner of the wall just above her head draws my eyes to that, cutting into her head, rather than her eyes. the catchlights in this one are a little freaky too, maybe because I can only see the lower side of the ring light in her eyes...

what kind of ring light is it?

2nd are 3rd shot are great the skin tones really come out.
