I am a big sucker for detail. I'm always looking to improve so any critique, good or bad, will be appreciated!!  https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/32455214  Apr 27 13 07:20 pm Link as far as achieving a clean beauty image, you have that one covered. The skin tones in particular look great. However, the one thing that keeps distracting me in this particular shot is the usage of depth of field with the particular angle of her face. The one eye and eyelash is completely sharp as a tack which you see in most beauty images, while the other is out of focus due to shooting at F1.4 or F2 range. For publication, that would kill the shot for me personally if I were the art director. If you look at other beauty images, everything is in focus tack sharp. This image could be an artistic decision, but otherwise, maybe stop down to F4 range and try for your next one. nice work on the details otherwise though. good luck Apr 27 13 07:36 pm Link Charlie-CNP wrote: Thank you so much, and you are totally right!! When we were shooting, we were facing straight on. She turned her head and I kept snapping. When I got home I noticed the depth of field but her agency really needed some softer looking pictures of her so I went ahead with the edit. It's also a bad habit of mine to shoot at a shallow depth of field but I'm trying to be good with my more recent shoots. Again, thank you!

If I have to nitpick, I would say that the eye on the right closest the lens - the white part of might need a bit of tonality to it. As it is the whites look too close in value and it comes across as a flat shape when it should reflect a bit of the natural curvature of the eye. Apr 28 13 01:52 pm Link Overall very good image. +1 about the eyes comment. Being really nit picky, the highlight area below the near eye is a little brighter than necessary. This emphasizes skin texture there a bit. Moving camera right from the highlight, the skin tone in excellent but the texture is not uniform. Some areas look almost blurred or flat. This could be a make up artifact or the result of retouching, can't tell which. Nice work, I like the angle. Apr 29 13 12:22 pm Link Compositionally, it's cropped just a bit too tight for my taste.
