Nicely done Rew, excellent use of a shallow depth of field, nicely but not ideally focused, well lit. If it was my shot, I would have cloned out the distracting horizontal line at waist height, which is a trivial job. I like the pose and, of course, your model. I just noticed your previous shot, where the focus is spot-on.

Pretty picture, well focused, nice use of depth of field, nicely composed, good soft light that works well for flowers. The water drops add interest but the image is too tightly cropped on the bottom.

The problem with this image is that it could equally well be titled "Boredom"...

It's a great picture with a funny set-up and solid technical execution. There could have been a bit more head space, but the main problem is the awful skin smoothening during post-processing, which makes the model look like a plastic doll.

You know, you could just post a link to the website dedicated to Buscaglia, instead of plagiarizing the entire text. Someone could legitimately believe that you wrote this.

Decent light and very pleasant organization of the frame. The left hand is pretty awkwardly positioned, almost like it would not belong to the model, and the gesture is quite strange. The facial expression is interesting, but I dislike the overemphasis of the eye color.

This is a very strange angle for a portrait, and the placement in the frame is quite unfortunate as well. The depth of field works. Your previous shots with this model, and especially the first, are considerably better.

Nice portrait with a very pretty model who offers you a relaxed pose, and a good crop. The focus doesn't seem to be spot on, with the scarf sharper than the eyes, and because of this you loose some skin texture. The white post behind her head should have definitely been avoided.

Hi Robert, I have been following and appreciating or Brazilian documentary. Regarding your previous post, I strongly recommend you to post it on TrekEarth, where the terms of service specifically address such cases: "Nude photographs [are nor permitted] unless the nudity is intrinsically related to an event such as a regional festival, daily living, or the like." There will always be the occasional wacko who will be offended by pretty much any normal view, but that should not discourage you. The subject matter is also much more appropriate for the sister site.

Very nice result, quite original and very appealing. A description of the post-processing in the notenwould be welcome.
