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.

Re: Darien
Nicely done Bob!
Mild distraction with the OOF "horn" on the right side of her head....
Re: Darien
Very nice work Bob....now if only I could be this good at portraits!! I really struggle with people so I tend to stay away from portraiture (both consciously and sub-consciously).
Anyone want to run a portrait workshop in Sydney to teach me some tips??? Cameron

Re: Darien
Bob - u should do more of these portraits mate..this one is also a pearler!
You've nailed focus, DOF, and lighting... Eye contact is lovely too.... I'd be interested to know two things from this shot: 1. What your lighting setup was and 2. How much PP you've done on this? Her complexion appears near perfect. Well done! Geoff

Re: Darien
We've done these before; no reason why we can't organise another one. We need two things ... A venue. Some models. If there's interest, we can start a new thread so as not to hijack this one too much. g.

Re: Darien
Thanks. The model here was facing indirectly towards the sun which was subdued by cloud cover and then a large silver reflector low and a bit to the side giving that nice soft lighting and some shape to the image. Regards processing: I tweaked the raw file in a stand alone copy of Professional Portraits which I have only had for a day and a half. I listened to feedback from Leek and took a more subtle approach than taken on some of the "Emma" images. Mostly attention to eyes, mouth, teeth, hair and some skin smoothing. I've also had quite a bit of feedback re catchlights in my portraits from several posts. So I followed that advice and removed the reflector catchlight in CS4 - keeping only the one sourced by the sunlight. Hope that covers what you were after. Bob
