Kind of a rush job, had to do the entire shoot in an hour. These shots will be used in the Local Junior Miss Program. I could have used a reflector on most of the shots, but I did not have anybody to assist me. The link is to the rest of the shots taken.

Nice, espcially for a rush job! That first is amazing, and I really like the 3rd and 4th too. For me, the 2nd has a bit too much of the flash fill, but I like the effect of the sun behind her. I just wish I could see her eye(s). Nice collection there at the link. Way to go!

I agree....that first one is totally amazing!!! The rest are also beautiful...but that one is just....WOOOOOOOOW!!!! #:O)

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

For me #2 is superb, love the backlit hair. #4 is also excellent especially the exposure of the face getting some light in the eyes, in which IMO the lighting conditions are difficult. Really like #1, they are all good, inc on your web page. Simon

These look really good! I have a couple of model shoots coming up, I can only hope to do as well! I am personally torn between one and two, I love the natural lighting in one, and the backlit hair in the second image gives it a nice warm feel! Brenda :)

I kinda think they are all outstanding. Some of the different crops used really have impact. Don't be tossing any out, that's for sure. Congrats.

really good job here... :) well done! i like the last pic a lot... love the refection in her eyes... :)

TwoPynts - Thanks for the comments. I went back and forth about having her turn more to the camera or not. Went with this pose as I think it gives her more of a look of contemplation as she is reflecting on her thoughts. I has hoping to get her reflection in the water, but the lake level is down due to lack of rain. cynlee - Thank you, I was pleased, and so was she. There are a few things I would do different, such as using another light or reflector to add a little more life to her eyes. But over all I am happy. Zacko - Thanks, my favorite also. Simon - #2 is my wife's favorite. Thanks! Brenda - Good luck on your shoots! Looking forward to seeing your work! Doug - Thanks! cbender - The last one, has the best lighting for the eyes by far. Thanks!

You really took some fabulous fotos there, randy! These are all excellent! I checked out all your images, and i really love the 3rd one in the 2nd row. and those ones of her on the bench where you see her boots...i really like those too! of the 4 you show here, i'm hard-pressed to pick a fav. i love her eyes in #4, as well as her wind-blown hair and smile. you should be proud!!! :)

I like #1 the best (although I wonder if the long shadow on her nose is flattering or not) because it's the best color (IMO) vibrancy of all. I like the shadow falling across her chest. My wife helps me, so I know what a pain it can be to do a shoot by yourself (AND rushed with time). I think you did very well!

Shelia - Thank you! ChuckEvans - I would have liked to soften the shadows on the first shot, which I think would have helped some. Thanks for the comments.
