Delete. great port, and here is one of my favorite as it conveys class, elegance, beauty. Great light and vintage rendering provide nice ambiance.

Elizabeth Michellle wrote: I would really like to know your opinioN Mediocre B&W rendering with little contrast and not an exciting expression. An ok image, but has no "wow" factor. Delete it. Your AVI is a superb image - light , pose, composition, etc - editorial stuff. My personal favorite though is your nerdish, sensual look. Its close, its personal, curvy and super alluring.

Even worse, your expression is undefined and the image is blurry. Makeup, accessories and great photography enhance your beauty here. A truly gorgeous Cleaopatra look alike.

Here is an example and there are several other near duplicates in your posrt so you should delete them. This one, while a bit over photoshopped is still breathtaking. In the future, make sure your photographer retouch work is moderate and less obvious.

Or is there certain ideal dress size? So I will avoid this issue. Your first image expression to me means fright. Is that what you intended? If not, delete it. . Great light, composition and super B&W rendering here: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29336037

While the wardrobe, pose and expressions are cute, you look way beyond your age, plus the pose is not flattering to your stomach. This one is my fave. You look absolutely stunning, great pose and expression, and the photgraphy is superb. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29553118 Great wardrobe, pose, expression and setting here

Rob Steele Images wrote: I'm game! It is evident at a glance that you are a first class photographer. Your use of light, beautiful models in great pose placed in interesting setting help create visually pleasing, sensual, and often erotic images. I think you went a bit overboard by posting too many images of Model Jenny. Yeah, she is gorgeoous, and you have done superb job capturing her beauty, but this is your port, not hers. You pick which ones to remove (or hide). One particular I would delete is this composite image as I see no unique concept, plus in general composites are a liability. Remember, less in more. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29106034 As it is hard to chose your "worst" it is even harder to select a favorite as I see many. Here is one of them for the model's expression and pose. The light provides a great ambiance.

I know the port is your resume and this is your tear sheet, but I recommend you pick one of the images and post that one only. Your AVI is superb and I also love this portrait series for its sheer beauty.

Julius, thanks so much for your feedback. Really appreciate that and totally agree with you on the montage and too many of one model.. A consequence of only doing it for 6 months part time, but hopefully I'll resolve that in due course with some more talent. Thanks again Rob

Most things are trial and error, it would be nice to have some professional feedback =] Thank you! Like you describe yourself, I am also an "amateur", but this term in my mind refers to how I make my living (which is in the high tech), and hopefully does not imply my work is amateurish. As a matter of fact, I find that many models and photographers on MM who are hobbyists, show more creative work than the "professionals", BECAUSE their primary goal is art rather than profit, so they put their heart into it. Regardless whether you charge for your work or not, I find your port to be superb. And like your MM name, yours is a work of LOVE. Ok, now back to the original theme, which photo to delete. I would say your first one. It is a nice image, but unlike your others, there is no strong concept behind it. I would also recommend putting captions on your images as some concepts, while seemingly unique, need some explanation. While you posted many great images, I love this one for its composition, light and ambiance.
