Oh - that makes more sense

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/16320678 shadows that accentuate bone structure
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/14350437 texture
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/16169195 playing with shadows
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/14767275 juxtaposition of model and background
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/11939221 the colors used in the image
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25848256 warm skin tones on cool gray backdrops
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19704468 how much noise there is in the shadows
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29885264 how the face looks like it isn't really in focus, but not on purpose
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/16169171 the black spot on the top of her head
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/15953052 the imbalance of light from face (less) to stomach (more)

Thank you

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22585090 the use of space
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23628911 that this is adorable
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20900359 the details in the skin, and the framing
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29674270 capturing special moments
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22585225 the use of light
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29783937 how gray/flat the image feels
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28644051 that the floor looks like the focal point instead of the face
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20900316 wrinkled backdrops
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28980672 how there is more light on her arm than her face
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28657574 how oddly orange everything is, including the skin

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20216532 how you play with light and glare
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20179926 soft and beautiful image tones
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/18820137 how you used shadows
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/14570731 how you seem to catch effortless moments
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20200177 the way your pictures can tell stories
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/14722479 how her skin feels almost exactly the same color as the background
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26873829 the gray bars that distract from the image
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5055404 as a general rule, pictures of yourself if you are the photographer
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26874101 how the gray bars are making me wonder if the whole picture feels a little gray
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26873648 how half of her face almost looks like it is glowing

Wow thank you. I have to say you have a great eye.

On this one I actually did a the point on the floor for focus because of low light. This was a spontaneous shot while we were resting after shooting some leaps. Great catch.

I think I have this in RAW, let me see if I can make it right


Thank you for the other notes as well. It'll help me pay attention in the studio

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27971871 how simple, clean, and pretty some of your images are
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29245424 how her skin looks oddly shiny and a little plastic
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28795086 that there is no light in her eyes and the distracting nose shadow
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29377289 this edit with no detail in the hair and the focus is off
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29076360 how cool the tone of the backdrop is with the warmer image subject
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29475115 that i can see on the background where you edited the stray hairs
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30735142 how dark the shadows are, and how yellow her hair is, and that the light on the chest feels arbitrary
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30715594 how much smoothing has been done on her cheek
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30320869 the tone/texture of the skin looks artificial
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26171774 how much the highlights look like they are glowing

Thank you -  I have been needing help to see some of my images more critically so that I could do some culling of the port...

however, on this one

http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29475115 that i can see on the background where you edited the stray hairs

it was shot with a ringlight - the shadow you see all the way around her body is a typical ringlight artifact

I appreciate your time - 

I know I need to take a lighter hand with some of my edits,  and you've identified a few images I can part with

Cheers

Gregor

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30551431 the tones in the image and the awesome detail in the glasses reflection
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30721453 how much her skin looks like it is glowing
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20274554 how different the two edits are for the series
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30551712 how the colors don't really pop and the background choice
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30539723 how plastic and edited the skin and eyes look
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30539821 the forehead/eyes being in shadow on the bottom image
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30551617 how much better i like the bluer toned image on the left, which makes me like the right image less
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30582314 how, instead of feeling soft, this image just feels a little muddy
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30732924 how interesting the light is in the leaves, but how flat it is on the model
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/20181235 the color of the yellow wall

suresure- no problem
i think maybe it isn't the shadow, but there is a lightness in the shadow right above the head just to the left of the center that cuts in to the shadow from the hairline?

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29224516 how your eyes light up when you smile
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25082707 your facial expression. love it.
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29618077 how you look natural and model at the same time
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27756012 varied expressions and your face in general!
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27885713 the intensity in your gaze even when not looking straight on
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27388729 how you look like you are about to cough
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29760194 that this, while i get the purpose, is in your portfolio. (put it on your front page if you need it)
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27756021 no neck- it actually looks a little horror movie how directly and perfectly twisted your head is
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/25415567 that you look shorter than you should
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/29425943 that, if you had more intensity in your eyes, this could have been really awesome

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27772280 that your pose/face feel easy and natural
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/26606345 when your smile feels real and it is playful
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22481721 when you bring intensity in your eyes
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27373071 pictures that tell stories
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22822391 cuteness
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28781531 how forced the smile looks
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22731725 the awkward head-grows-arm position
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23871184 how little i can see of your face
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23871162 this angle on your face and how your neck is gone gone gone
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23871184 that i can't really make out or connect with the expression here

I hate that you retired- I hate that I retired (sorta).

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/8703245 the skin detail, the frame, the light in her eyes... favorite.
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/8608252 your use of colors/tones
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22899045 how soft and pretty the bottom 3 images are
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/9662042 that these feel like paintings almost - and are lovely
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/17533672 how you use nature to frame a cohesive story
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/9028375 the dullness/loss of detail in the highlights (hard to explain- looks like it was close to blown out and you lessened the output of the greens in levels to give it a dull purple color)
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22899536 how bright/edited the face looks
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/24513502 that there is light on her stomach but not her face
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22899045 for this--- the top image, i feel, does not fit the lovely/dusky mood of the others
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/28797712 how the colors feel a little gray

LOVE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5793126 how you framed the image and the light in the hair
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/6054873 the vintage feel
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5864707 that this looks more like something geared for a modeling site
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5793170 that i feel like i get a sense of the person
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5864717 keeping details in the skin
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/6233527 that this is in a portfolio on a modeling site
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5864719 that you seem to have random snapshots
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5864717 again seems like a snapshot
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/5769633 the class of '08 logo
-overall that i am confused about what you are doing on modelmayhem since it doesn't look like you work with people?

http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30883871 pictures that create a mood
HATE:
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30884030 the stiffness in your face and pose
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30729172 when your face looks dead/arms are stiff
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30884007 how i feel like this could have been pushed just a little more and would have become much cooler
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30782452 the armpit
http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27990610 how stiff the arm is-- i think this pose would work, though, with a slightly different frame and angle
