Mark, I don’t know much about this type of photography but I really like the first image. Her eyes are stunning and I think they look better in colour. That said, on my laptop monitor her left cheek looks over exposed. If you were going to print this or enter it in a competition I’d clean the sole of her shoe.
Good point about the shoe Dave. Thanks for pointing it out. :)
The cheeks are fine on my monitor and I posted this image up for critique on ephotozine and got lots of critiques but no one mentioned the cheeks.
Nice images, my preference though is for the second. It’s a pity about the underwear & the shoes in the first image as I think it would have made a better image without them. I think also it would be a stronger image in B&W.
There appears to be a ‘smudge’ under the models lip in No’ 2. Is that just a shadow?
