Is anyone still interested in doing critiques? I was hoping this thread was still active, but alas...

I prefer the pose in the first one. Something about it is mysterious and compelling. The position of her hand is fantastic. I don't care for the middle shot as much, I think her features are done better justice when not viewed straight on. The third one is also nice for a more traditional portrait look... but watch for little details on your subject like hair and jewelry. I think this shot could have been better if her bangs were fixed, etc. The lighting is nice, overcast days = giant softbox... always a win for soft and pretty portraits. Be wary of your background elements in a busy downtown area like this, too.

Since someone else posted swamp shots, I'll follow that theme. Any CC is welcome. I took these on a workshop with a well lauded wedding photographer in my area. She had an assistant shining an led video light off to the side. I like these alright, but it was hard to elbow for a good spot with 20 other photographers... definitely takes away from the creative spirit for me, but a great learning experience for talking to other photographers. I also found it really amusing that our models were styled as follows: Indian, Pirate, Girl in a lacy white dress. Don't ask me, I have no idea.
