All 5 are great images. To me (this is my own opinion), something about the red in these shots doesnt look right. Maybe it's the BG and not the red. I dunno.
The lighting in all is great. The hand placement in 3 looks more natural than in 4. 1, 3, 5 are my fav's.
Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions (including the ones left on the photos themselves).
I'll work on the hand placement bit in the future (posing is what I need the most work on!) and try a square crop on #2.
Of all of the images, my favorite was #3. I loved the backlighting on her hair, the lighting in general, her pose, the expression on her face, the fact that she let her hair down, etc. I wished her left hand had been in closer for a tighter crop on the right, but oh well.
wow david these are great, you have some wonderful images here. If the worst thing you have to worry about is hand placement then you have it made. I think they are all superb but #2 is excellent!
