I just posted new pictures, some are on my MM page others on a Flickr link (https://www.flickr.com/gp/125979490@N08/K1EvNV/) and was wondering what people thought and how I can get the most out of each post and each shot.

If you think there is one that stands out (either as great or terrible) why do you think that shot is great (or terrible) 

If you post here or on the pictures I read everything

Thanks for looking.

Model too centered in photo, a vertical format would work better


Fence is a distracting background
Think vertical, remember you are trying to showcase the model, not sell the fence


Too much space behind the model, she looks squashed into the left side of photo
[If the green background was fully behind her, no water sky or shore line, it would make for a better image]


Compose the photo so the tree is not growing out of her shoulder



Try not to cut the feet off


Try not to cut hands off

Wish you well

A cropping was mentioned.

Exposure and lighting also seems to be an area that needs improvement.

Most of the shots seem to hit the model front or back, but never from the side or corner, which are often the strongest.

You also want the light to light up a key part of a frame that you want the viewer to focus on and darken out other less interesting areas.

What they said. ^^^

that is your most interesting shot.
the others are almost like you stopped, took a quick shot and moved on.
I see no attention to detail, not perfecting the lighting or angles, working with the backgrounds. If you do all of that, then you need to up the game.  I get no point of view, just documentation and strange cropping decisions.

Start with a subject in a dark room and use ONE light,  it can be a bare bulb, a flashlight anything single source.
What does that one light say, what does it reveal about your subject?
Take that same criteria outside.

keep shooting

You have a feel for mood, but your technique let's you down in my opinion. Technique you can learn, so this is not a problem.

I did not read all feedback to go in open minded, maybe I repeat the others, sorry in that case.

* try to place your subject more to a side (google rule of thirds)
* Be careful with cutting off hands and shoes
* via flash, reflectors or in photoshop you can create more attention on your model by having less light on the background. The same is possible by having your background more often out of focus.


Keep looking for mood in your pictures, this is your strength!
