I think she has goten so natural since last i shot her that I didn't even need to really give her instructions. Theese are what we are sending in for the Delias catalog and ford agency, model search. Do you all think she has a chance? -Gabe-

Definitely a chance, Gabe. She's very pretty, and doesn't seem to mind the camera at all. I like this shot, 'tis well-composed, and her clothing very well contrasts the colors of the background. (*

Nice shot! Looking at the image I think she should stand a good chance =) xXxXx

yhummm... nice shot, rally. she's pretty. anyway... i've a thing to ask. you have cropped this image? the reason i'm asking this is that if you have cropped it, try to recrop the image centering the wodden-delimited space and not the girl. i guess how the result shoul look. you have captured two contrastant movements here, one regular/ripetitive (the wooden bars, the tires on the sand) and a chaotic one (the girl). maybe different crop could transform tha pic... just wondering... =)

Star, & Catherine, I think she is going to be thrilled to hear that. 8^) Artax, I have done no post to theese yet, I just shrank them , I havent even color corected. I try to leave the images like if they were on film. I will do a few things over the day to them, and I think i will try to get rid of the dead space on the right. I think that will help. Thanks -Gabe-

You have a nice subject here gsalas if you want MHO I would make her smile she looks really moody or even sad, I would also crop the image across the top and down the RH side and remove all the distracting back ground. :O)

Mysnap, she was in a bad mood that day, I desided that i would use that to our best advantage. But the catalog doesn't have everyone smiling in it either. I expect that most of the potencials will be submitting smile shots, so I though to give them less smiles so that she stands out more as well. alpha, Hi! Image one, f:9.5 shutter:500th I was surprised it was that crisp too, I'll blur it a bit in photoshop. I'll take all of your comments when I reshoot on friday I want to get theese perfect for her. As for studio shoots, Yes, this is the girl that I had an image up with a white blouce and a cross a few months ago. Her hands are definatly one of my bigest conserns.
