LOVE:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30588143 how natural and pretty your expression is
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30592795 that you have a less edited picture so i can see more of how you really look
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30770624 how your pose here looks real, and the expression is interesting and dynamic
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30587428 that you are doing something with your hands/arms
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30592480 that your eyes connect with the camera
HATE:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30609137 how you almost look like you are sneering, and the edit on your skin is very orange/shiny/plastic
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30588143 how stiff your pose is
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30567775 how awkward your arms look (just dangling)
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30659306 this odd half almost smile
-that you have so many similar images from one session- shoot more!

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27644323 the way your eyes draw me in to the picture, and your expression
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25790229 expression!
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29447445 the subtle intensity of the image
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25790284 how naturally beautiful you are on camera
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25790308 how relaxed, yet good, you look here

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25790171 that i am just not really a fan of this
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30754866 that you look short here for some reason

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29848237 how you look at ease and connect with the camera at the same time

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29911361 the edit, the feel, very cool

Go ahead! You pick.

LOVE:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29050583 the lighting, tone, mood, and frame
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28257960 how this image pops off the screen
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29943388 the mix of slightly blurred motion and clear still that parallels the mix of bright light and shadow
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28254125 how you still have light in her eyes
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30693980 how the softness works here
HATE:
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29943357 the blurry hair on her face- there seem to be two lines of light above her lip too, which is odd/distracting
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30323021 that the picture somehow looks a little blue and it glows in odd places
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29779966 how flat the image is and the gray in her skin tone
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27939105 that the effect is very overdone- it looks like it was created, not shot
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30458849 how much better i would like this if it were cropped in more towards her upper body/face (the interesting part, right now the legs sticking out of the sides just look odd)

https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30518148 how shiny and plastic the skin looks
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30767814 how sharp/artificial this feels
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/13057338 how deep the shadow is in the corner of her eye
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28796982 that something really bugs me about this image but i can't put it in to words
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/3849238 how black the black is- it makes me think she is photoshopped on, but i am not sure if she is
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28796964 the skin feels a little plastic here
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27247817 that you chose a picture where your model looks very surprised
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27743377 that the wall texture bugs me
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/15883961 that i feel like her legs look short- probably the styling, or maybe could have shot from a lower angle
