This is Sarah - Please critique

[ProShotPhoto]

I post a lot at times and when i have time i try to constructively critique other works.

I very much appreciate all comments and any critiques you may offer. It helps me keep on my toes and always improves my work. Just pic one and go to town

thanks

Here is a fast lane critique of the photos.
#1 Expression problem. Eyes dark, no catchlights. Too dark below model. Pose is somewhat awkward. Looks like you burned in the area below the torso.
#2 Pose problem. Big crease in back from twist she's in. Black background is distracting. No catchlights.
#3 Legs flatten out when flat footed. Wear heals, or have model raise up on toes at the moment of shot.
#4 is best of 4. See three about legs. Both #3 and #4 have uneven background light (minor detail).

This is a pretty, slender girl who needs softer poses. By this I mean ones that don't stretch or twist her as much. # 3 could be improved by cropping mid thing..

What are you using as lights, both make and modifiers?

The hair in #4 is not complete, so it looks like a mistake. More in motion or all straight like in #3.

More powder on face and stronger blush and lipstick. Not bright red.

I really like shot 3. I would normally agree with the standing on tip toes comment but this shot works without it. Being flat footed makes the model look more innocent and cheeky! It would look cute if the shot was taken with her heel twisted out slightly and a finger pointing in her face - hard to describe but I can picture it perfectly.
