[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is Cindy our Model for the day as we ( my co member in our camera club) went to Paradise Ranch early today to have some model shoots, we only used 1 speedlyte and 1 reflector, sun is quite defused today so we were so lucky. Hope you like this one.
PP: Surface Blur,Smart blur, USM for the eyes and lips, saturation, then Crop for TL.

Hi Allan,
A fine eye contact Cindy has with the camera, she is an engaging model. Your pp work is effective, to my taste, and does not look overdone. There are a few spots atop her hair (from the slits of light peeking through the b/g foliage) that I would perhaps clone out. Seeing this makes me say 'paturo nga ng portrait'.

Beautiful model here and the light setup seems great to give her radiant beauty and pose some extra boost. However your composition is out here and the cutting off of her right shoulder is a shame really. I am also not a huge fan of photographer "ego-logo" watermarks and this is a matter of personal taste I guess. Thank you for your descriptive notes and happy shooting!

regards,

Dilshan

Hi Allan

She's beautiful - great model for you!

The composition is ok here although tighter would've worked well as this is essentially a head shot.

Are you sure there was no lightening PP? There seems to be a 'halo' around her hair at the top left.

I think whoever held the reflector was too close. The light is quite harsh - there's a highlight on her cheekbone that is almost OE, and a strong shadow cast from her nose. Both would be fixed by having the reflector further back, as the light has more distance to diffuse and will create a more even spread across her face.

Not a fan of the signature, it seems designed to give the impression that you're a photography business - although most photography businesses wouldn't ruin their work with a signature like that! ;)

Can the photo posted be a bit larger and the space on the left hand side not that tight? Model is pretty. Cannot compare Canon lens and Tamron as PP has been done to the photo.
