Hi there,
I was away for few years but now I'm back with set of new photos.
I kindly ask for your critique of my photos.
Cheers

Jan I'm actually found of your previous work with the Sony...
This fashion editorial with Lucy is rather fierce...

Of your aquatic work this composition is compelling...

albeit might look into rendering it with HDR to pull info from blown highlights...
Photomatix Pro is likely the best available app now...

Here is an example of this application on a single frame aquatic theme with multiple camera RAW iterations... And it's with the same camera you're using... the D3

In my experience there is virtually no way a single exposure can effectively capture the wide dynamic range latent within an aquatic venue... At least in my humble estimation... Thus HDR is one practical solution...

Hope this helps...
Thank you for sharing...

All the best on your journey...

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for critique, as a matter of fact I'm quite flattered by your opinion.
I have no idea if I ever find another model like Lucy, she is/was a person with artistic approach and she had most of the things that model would want.
Constant pursuit of knowledge drives me towards Photoshop, but I will give it a try to Photomatix and see where it gets me.
Developing and post processing skills are my weakness and now I try to catch up.
I hope to present a much better work in the future.
Cheers
