Model tree

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.

or a model under a tree :wink:
A different and wider shot of a promotions model I posted previously, when i had the opportunity through an adjacent car show. I'm not sure about the pose, particularly the hands.

I am no portrait expert but she looks a little awkward...not sure why? Perhaps it's the expression... Do you have any otheres from the shoot?

Because it is not a natural pose for her and she is not
smiling. Nothing wrong with the photograph, but with
the pose of the model and possibly she did not feel
comfortable in that environment. :roll:

I have photos very similar to this one.

She'd never modelled for a photographer previously, (they walk around the car show handing out promotional material ) so wasn't relaxed and i think that shows. I literally had only a couple of minutes with each lady so it was a big ask of her and her mates to expect too much when rushed so much.

Another of the above model

On the money. I'm sure given time she would have relaxed, though many people never can when a camera is pointed their way.

She has a nice smile... I just can't help but look at the nose ring.
