I have three new pics in my port.  But here are better versions:

Trisha is definately one of the best models I've shot with.  GREAT attitude and I recommend her very highly!!

I think you already posted #1.  And I'd crop #2 above the knees.  Pretty model though and good pictures.

Stunning model. Not much I can say about any of these pics.. But I'll split a few hairs anyway.

Pic #2, flash is slightly overcompensating... The slight shadow is a bummer, but I didn't even notice it at first glance.. Vibrant sky!!

Pic#3, the angle of her face is fine and looks great but its causing her left eye to look a little funny..... 

Again, I'm splitting hairs here... They are great images..  smile

#2 would crop well to an 8x10.  I don't like cropping my port pics though cause then it's not uniform with the rest...don't ask, I'm anal that way.  Which is why I try to avoid posting any landscaped images as well...cause they look so much smaller sad

I'm not sure if it's the flash. I'd have to check the original RAW file and put the tone back to normal to tell.  As it is, I have it set to HIGH Contrast.

Here's a question for you or anyone...what's a good way to kill those shadows?  I'm shooting a Nikon D70 with a Nikon SB800 flash.  I haven't figured out an effective way of killing those shadows with the stuff I already have.  A diffuser hasn't help.

Are you shooting in RAW?

If so PS your image through a lite saturation filter then defuse the image at -3.

Those shadows are a pretty obvious.

I assume a reflector was not available?

Although that might wash out her skin.

I've never used a reflector when I'm using my flash and the power from the sun was getting pretty weak and made it pretty much useless.  With my current skills anyhow.

I do shoot RAW.  Nothing but the best for my girls big_smile
