Move away from the wall; get the light higher [If you look at the top of the models head there is a shadow being cast upward, there is a shadow to photo right of model along her leg and arm]


Better on the lighting, but move the model away from the wall. Try to get models toes in next time, pose seems stagnate with head body all facing same way
Do to top model looks quite large

Think the overall pose looks better in first photo, and lighting looks a bit better in second image
[Not sure about the color gradient from top of photo to bottom of photo]
Happy New Year

Thank you! I definitely see what you're saying.
Although I'm not actually sure why the gradient is there. I was shooting against a white wall and none of the other pictures turned out that way. I tried to fix it for a while but wasn't succeeding, and liked that image and didn't want to compromise other aspects of it.

Adobe LightRoom....and particularly learning to adjust "curves" manually is a worthy investment.

Despite tweaking the colors....if it just doesn't want to be tamed.  Then switch to B/W....and channel Herb Ritts. 

Here's something I read lately that I'm going to try.....  http://digital-photography-school.com/h … ur-garage/

#1 The model is in sort of a a good pose, not sure she's looking at the camera. The lighting is odd. Her hands are bluish but her face is tannish. She's actually slightly underexposed.


#2 Model looks like she's wearing football shoulder pads. It's a slightly up the nostril shot. The blue tan lighting is not good. And again, slightly underexposed.


#3 This works. The blue is consistent, great eye contact and definite mood.


#4 This is great! The colors are so well coordinated, the scene is interesting and the model's expression is perfect. Concept nailed. Only improvements if she were looking at camera and the grey triangular thingy, lower right needed to be removed.


#5 This is MODEL Mayhem. We need to see the model's face. Good colors, interesting idea.


#6 Nope, have no idea of what I'm supposed to look at or the idea, here. The mode's face is obscured but her breast is not. Is she resting or dead?

You're definitely matching color and mood in 3 and 4. Your color sense is definitely well tuned. Let your models into your concept and thinking. Exposure is just as important as color you want it to match the concept. Keep going and hone your concepts and watch your lighting, I see an interesting path ahead.

Thank you, I really appreciate all the comments and will keep these things in mind!
