A few of my efforts at the model shoot in Brisbane - was an absolute blast, but boy insects and frogs are soooo much easier to shoot - way out of my comfort zone here !!!!

Oh well, here goes ;)
Lani actually smiled a lot :) And what a gorgeous smile she has !!

A pp'd high key effort - was going for camera grain, but not sure if it worked :?

She really is a beautiful girl !!

Ooooh, I like what you've done with the second one Rel. The subtle water ripples in the background are great!

I agree for number 1, I think this is a great shot, the pose, setting and background really work, alittle more light on her face would make it really sing.

I reckon ya smashed 'em (thats a good thing btw), top work, imagine how awesome ya gonna be with a bit of practice! :up: :up:
