Hi Rew,

I like this picture more than the previous one . . Sensual and natural pose . .
If tips of her hair at under her left arm is not shown, it may be much sexy . . it's my opinion . .
I like the light from her right . . and blurred BG . . Fantastic composition . .

Tfs,
Tjutjut

That's better Rew, the cemetery is less evident in this one. It's just me, I'm not comfortable taking photos of other families departed. You got the exposure just right, the details in her dress are perfectly visible. Nice soft focus background too.
I like this one.

Hi Rew

This compo has a refined and elegant appeal. The pose and natural lighting is good and exposure. I like the detail of the model's dress too.

TFS,

Lighting on Kristy's face is very natural.
Sharpness,brightness/contrast & DOF are perfect.
Kristy looks very angry??May be a smile on her face would be sexy.

This one is fabulous. Definitely one of the sexiest cemetery photos I've ever seen. (Well, come to think of it, I haven't seen that many sexy cemetery photos, but nevertheless . . . ) This on is granier than I'm used to seeing from you, but it works well. The bokeh is superb. Nice work, Rew. -Hugh

Hi Rew,
Shooting white dress demands good exposure. You did it very well, no OE and UE at all.

I love the pose.

:) Cheers,
Ramdan

Don't you just love the bokeh on this lens! I have the same lens and I am quite pleased with it, even though it's regarded by some as a "cheap" lens.

It's nice and sharp too, no small ask for 1/160th at 300mm, gotta love that tripod!

This is easily my favourite on this series, the mood, expression, lighting and composition are just absolutely spot on here. Couldn't make any suggestions, other than perhaps a bit more light on her face...

Hi Rew ...
she is too pretty to be labeled a vamp! :)
Very nice mood you have captured here! I like how she stands out among the gloom of the gravestones

This is really good, Rew - even at my nit-picking best, there's nothing I would change here. I like the composition, her look, the graininess, the focus, the lighting, the dress - the whole damn lot.

Excellent shot!

Bonjour Rew
Très bonne utilisation de la profondeur de champ. le personnage se détache bien sur un fond un peu flou. belle lumière.


Amicalement

Hi Rew,

I like this shot. It has a special mood. I was wondering if the face of the girl isn't a bit too dark, but my conclusion is that it matches well the scenery of this picture. Her dress could hasve been tad darker for it detracts from the girl. I like her pose. Nice touch of lateral warm light makes the shot even more pleasant to view. tfs

Well Rew it is a good result. Lovely how the sunlight shines on her arm. And the composition with the graves is very nice.
Well done mate

Rew, I do have mixed emotions about this one.
Not about Kristy, that I'll keep to myself :-)
But you can tell her that she's doing a terrific job ! ( no double meaning )

She's posing very sensual but the total photo ain't " hot " : you placed her in a rumble of stones. She has to carry the whole photo.
Nope, that pose should be, IMO !, taken elswhere.
I do like the compo ! Technically.
Because you have the time with this kind of shooting, try to make at least 3 photos at the same time : under exposed, normal and OE.
Her dress is almost perfect but has serveral parts who are OE.
Maybe by combining those 3 shots, you can come to the " perfect one "
Just thinking !!!

See you !

This is first class Rew, The blurred BG and the sharpness of the dress and gravestone on the right are excellent - great pose

Hi Rew, Good use of this marvellos lens. The resulting clarity of the lady, and unfocus of the background looks just right. TFS. Murray.

A sensual shot. I like it. Kristy is pretty.

But her face is under exposed. The image is a little bit noisy. The light may be just good enough for you to use ISO 100 or 200. Why 400?

Since your idea or title is about cementry vamp, then you should not blur the BG that much. If you dont tell this is cementry, we would not have guessed that it is. So f8-10 is probably good.

I am still debating about her facial expression.

Hello Rew.
Good shot from that distance. Perfect dof.
The graveyard is not my fave place to photograph, living beauties like Kristy.
Say it with Flowers, haha.
Cheers.

Rew,
Her white dress make things difficult, but in the PS you could bring up the light on ther face. She deserves it!
The composition and idea are very nice.
Well done,

Hi Rew, have you deleted a photo of Kristy? I seem to recall a closeup in the gallery. Whatever, I like this, for that distance good light and detail and the pose just right. Kristy well positioned in the frame. TFS,
David

Women's portraits on you are made with a great sense of the elegance, but avoiding to leave sensuality apart. Tha's a very important difference in front of another photographers that are trying to go one step beyond searching the more strange scenes, wear or postures for their models.
This image is a good example of what I'm trying to explain.

Except the fact that she is posing in a cemetery which is very uncomfortable to me... the poses are beautiful. She is a good looking model!

Hi Rew,

She is gorgeous. I would say that I would prefer a different setting for this beauty. But I like the blurry background.

Thanks for sharing, Lisa
