Nice mate. Your model shots are coming along in leaps and bounds.

Number 4 is my favourite, great posing from the model.

You should have found a use for your 300mm!! You would've looked cool!!

Great shots.... love the separation of the model from the background.
All I know, is that I don't know enough.....

Gorgeous girl... and really nice images of her too.. I like them all but am unsure of the pose in the first one as I'm not so sure that it does her justice...

last one is my fav.... great hair movement.. :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

I find the expression on the model's face disturbing. She seems to be very worried, or thinking "What have I got myself in for?" Perhaps more idle chit chat to get her more at ease with you and the situation. Of course oyu will notice I don't do model shoots, so what would I know.

I alos like the separation of the backgorund. Nice balance of exposure, but it reminds me of the 60's B surfing movis (Gidget at al) where the actors are blatently in front of a movie backdrop.

Great result either way Matty, I prefer the last two due to composition and the more comfortable look of the model.

Awesome #4, #2 would have also been a ripper if the model had a more comfortable expression - :D

Mate, the shots are great.

I would say #4 is the pick, but that tattoo just kills it for me. I'm not against tattoos, not by any means, but that one is just crap. Its a cheap tattoo and it cheapens the shot. Nothing you could have helped though.

#3 is a really nice shot. I like the pose, the composition and overall it feels quite balanced and pleasant to look at. Well done. YOU'RE work is fantastic. :D
