Fright Night

Some freinds are going to a 'Fright Night' for halloween at Movie World on the Gold Coast and offered to have a dress rehersal so that the local photography club could run off a few frames in return for files.
Studio lights used are my own which don't see light of day often enough. When I do get them out I struggle with lighting placement for the best effect because, you guessed it, I dont use them often enough. I run the photoography club and provide all the tuition so no pointers from other attending members
. Anyway here a few shots from the shoot, all processed differently, any feedback/advice for improvement on posing/lighting/processing would be greatly appreciated
I did not see the shadow from the edge of the dress on this one until I uploaded this.


Skin tones are too warm on this one especially considering the theme.

This one is a psuedo HDR - same image copied with exposure changes +1, +2, -1, -2 and 0, blended in Photomatix and converted to B&W

The original single image for above
