More model meet images....

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.

Forum rules
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.

Here are a few more photos from yesterday's Brisbane meet.

I'm a complete amateur at model portraiture (and portraiture of any kind) so constructive criticism is highly sought.

I'm still looking for your first thread of images from the meet lol.. (hint.. where's a link cause I must be blind as a bat).. :)

Actually I think you've done really well.. the first one has a real fashion feel to it due to the way you've framed Kat on the right hand side (I probably would have put her on the left hand side more out of habit but this is quite effective).. and its a lovely photo of Sheri in the middle.. her eye's are sparkling!.. and I also like the perspective of Lani that you've used (you looking up).. they are all good! :)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

#2 is the pick of the bunch for me, my only suggestion would be either go a bit tighter or wider, with the tat and arm chopped off it feels too wide, hence maybe a slightly tighter crop would work, on the flip side, a bit wider capturing that tat would have balanced the face out nicely in a wider portrait...

Good idea Shane, I'll keep that in mind for future.

This is my only thread Sue....I simply meant that MY photos were adding to the multitude of threads from the meet by other people. Not sure if you were serious or I didn't get the sarcasm! :P

Kat on the right was a shot of opportunity - I don't have the confidence to butt in on other togs who know more about what they are doing than me! And Sheri's eyes were what caught me the most about her, and I tried to capture them in so many ways but this was the best I got.

Definitely makes a lot of sense now that I look at it again, another point for the memory bank. Thanks!

I like them all. I would have added more
contrast, but that is only personal taste.
