Thanks for the feedback - I was trying but obviosuly didn't get enough from her.. Being an ex-martial artist, it was quite frustrating to try and get that intesnse look and the right pose at the same time.
She is a very inexperienced model but got a lot better towards the end of the shoot. It was a great opportunity to practice directing a model so at least I can take that from the day

How did you go with this? anyone get uncomfortable and call in the boys in blue?

Matt. K wrote:First shot has some beautiful elements going for it and I think you should push that idea further. The other shots don't work for me because the lighting is atrocious...pick softer light, cloudy day etc...and the background is very distracting. Backgrounds should not compete with the main subject. I think it's a great subject and you haven't got the best pix out it yet.

The girl needs more intensity and as Matt has already said the backgrounds are a bit distracting. The strongest by far is #1 IMHO especially since your shallow DOF has softened the background, but therein lies another problem in that you've lost almost all trace of the sword and we see just the grip. Can I suggest you try taking TWO versions of that shot if you attempt it again with different f stop values so you can combine the good DOF to get the sword with the shallow DOF to throw the background into soft focus.
