I keep looking at your portfolio and keep thinking that you are incredibly talented! (you models help I must say). Carry on with the fantastic work mate, it's a pleasure for the eyes.
7 - Nice portrait. Toning works well. Main detractor in my opinion are the knees dominate the image too much, perhaps the pose a little more side on, who knows. Also, a fraction nudge rotate up on the right (if you were able) just to get the boardwalk/decking straightened, or at least the line cropped out - if that makes sense. Toning works well.
wow, what a beautiful model. oh, and a good picture, too! I like the foreshortening of the knees, the way you make the perspective lines of the bridge look like a box that she's trapped in.
Nice tones selected for this photo. Interesting composition, however she looks very uncomfortable/unnatural in the chosen pose. You may have been better served (if your objective was to keep her below the railings) to have her sitting against one side or the other? JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.
Excellent! A great portrait with feeling. Esp. I like the natural look here. The pose doesn't look that overstated, as many other photos do. Beautiful model, well chosen location and technically perfect. Well done, good luck for the challenge. 10 + fav.
