Yes You have great advice. Took out the wedding dress pic right away. The other pic I am hesitant to take out because I love the dress! But I am giving it some thought. Thanks again for the critique! thanks for the feed back!, it really helps keep my interest in doing these. Remember this is a "get me more work" site, not "what dress I like" site Haha : )
They always say don't take it personally, and I agree it's very hard not to. but the way I try to think of it is: what ever they say, is about the work not me. I am not my work.

If you want a stronger port and are willing to cut all but the best, let's go!
Anyone can critique too! and please let me know how I'm doing at this, thanks! Critiquing you: A little too much skin blur on some of your images and not enough sharpness. Looks like your using a little too much of the curves in lightroom-That can get you that washed out highs look. I think you should ditch your first picture in your port and one of the ones that is a duplicate with a different treatment.
CHeers. Hope this helps:-)

Ive been thinking about something like this for weeks now... Im thinking ive got way too many images. Im sure my port would be enhanced if I got rid of some images.
Thanks!!

I agree! Tell me what needs to go! For Model Kaela Kino. I Hope im getting this right...we are also supposed to chime in and do other peoples portfolios too? If not ill come back and delete this.
Kaela...Row 4 could all be deleted in my opinion...the vampire images and the dark one next to it do not add to your look of beauty and grace for me...therefore good candidates for me to be dropped. The first 2 images in row 3 dont add to your class and beauty for me as well either...they are also quite dark. The bondage kind of images for me are all to dark to be effective.
Row 13 doesnt have any really strong images in it for me...but the next row and the last rows have some very attractive images in them. If images dont show your beauty and class and appreciation of the body...they can go...you have some images that are just average...id delete those too. I know you are versatile and diverse but you have a some nice images...enough of them to let the questionable ones drop...and still have a very nice portfolio remaining. It might be stronger to only have your best favorites.

CHeers. Hope this helps:-) thanks, ya the first one is gone, it's was a image I wasn't too happy with but was trying to make someone out of it until I shoot more. it's harder that I thought to arrange a shoot : )
I'm working on sharpness too, these are older images. I hate when I look on the camera screen and it seem sharp and I load it on the computer and it isn't. those were shot with a 7D and I've sold that and got a 6D it's so much better!
is this the one you talking about? I've had people love and hate this image, but got the best score of my images in Pick of the Day.

Thanks!! Yes please jump in!
I think you should start by making two folders one for photo and one with before/after retouched images.
50 is too many to go through. but I like this!

I'm terrified to even ask, but since I'm just now getting back into modeling again after many years away from it, I need to rebuild. Be gentle!

Thanks so much to TMA Photo and Retouch & Dennis Zeitz! I narrowed my portfolio down to 42 images, so I cut 18! I hope my portfolio is stronger because of it. Thanks so much for your input
