Since it's almost Christmas, I think that I will do a Santa style critique. I will pick your best naughty or nice picture and give you a lump of coal for your worst.
****EDIT****
Just because you get a lump of coal doesn't mean that the image is bad. As we all know, our portfolios are only as good as the weakest picture. I can already see that it is going to be difficult in many cases to find that weak image. I know that I have images that I should get rid of but I keep them for one reason or another. Anyway, my opinion is highly subjective and take it for what it's worth.
****The thread is now closed***
Have a great Christmas everyone!

You get an extra lump of coal under your Festivus tree for correcting Santa. I love your avatar. It's a little bit naughty and a little bit nice. You really have quite a nice portfolio.
This one, while not without artistic merit does not add anything to your portfolio that will make someone want to shoot with you. T least in my opinion so it gets the lump of coal.

Maybe Christmas, he thought... doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps... means a little bit more!
You are so right! Christmas does not come from a store. It does mean so much more!
Wow! I didn't even have to get into your portfolio before you knocked my socks of with this little bit of naughty. A very powerful image!
Your lump of coal goes to this one. Not because it's a bad image but because you have so many others that are so much better to use as an avatar. ***EDIT*** Upon further review, I see the problem. You have been naughty and wont let the nice girls have any clothes on. That does limit your avatar choices a bit.

Thank you Santa - I did not realize I had been quite that nice this year

Merry Xmas
Well you already know that you've been naughty. I can't even post some of my favorite images on this thread but this is nice
You definitely get a lump of coal for this one. Not because it's bad but because you have raised the bar too much with your other images. This one just doesn't rise to the same level.

Merry Christmas to you too.
This is nice. It has an undeniable warmth to it.
You are the naughty one for taking otherwise lovely images and chopping off your models feet.
You are off to a great start. Just spend a little more time composing your shots and it will pay big dividends. When is doubt, just stand back a little more and crop the images a little in post.

I see that there were some latecomers so I will revive the thread to get them covered. The thread will really be closed after these ones.

You get your lump of coal for your naughty picture. How many times has Santa told you to quit making the models escort walk the plank for trying to direct the shoot! Bad Harry! BAD!

Naughty because Santa has told you and told you to quit taking pictures of the neighbor girl through her window. I know she doesn't have shades but that's no excuse! Even though Santa likes the shot and plans to reward her with lots of goodies next year Please surrender any other shots you have of her to Santa@Northpole.com
