Fashion Show - I may have pulled it off!

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Fashion Show - I may have pulled it off!

Last night I was shooting a small local charity fashion show. Here are a few that look good right up. Shot in RAW and converted vi PS with no tweaking yet. Suggestions on processing improvements appreciated.

Ended up using and sb800 on camera. No space for bigger lights in the end and the room ambient was SO1600 f2. 1/25... Not good when the models are moving! So far the one organizer who has seen it, which is my unbiased *cough* mum, seems happy. Now tear them apart for me!

The night went really well and they have raised over $5000 for the MS Society, which was the main point!

Nice work Jon, given the lack of information and you having to change you plan of attack, you've done well. Re PP I'd probably try to drop the background down a bit at least darken it a little and perhaps a bit of lens blur added too ?

They look sharp and well exposed, so I don't think they will need much PP besides some cropping and a little background work as Craig said :)
