I think personally I like the last one the most, and to me is more flattering for her and what shes working with.

Thanks for your comment. Care to elaborate on what you mean by "what [sic] shes working with"?

I was just thinking she looks like a curvy lady, and the last one shows it off the best of the 3. Just my opinion.

Gives me something to shoot for in my work...

OK. Gotcha. Yes indeed she's got some curves and I'll post a more body centric shot in the Human Form section once I finish editing. These are really meant to be more 'portraitish' (love making up words like that)...

I would suggest you aim higher

Thanks for the compliment.

So this is really a four light setup, not a two light setup?

Nice series. Her expression in the last one is by far my favorite. I love the pose and the styling in the first image.

Scott,

Exquisite lighting as usual and beautiful model. IMHO, #2 is the best since she appears most relaxed. #1 is very nice except for the area around the right arm and shoulder. #3 seems has too much tension in the right shoulder/elbow, and the left hand. Just my observation. It is always easier to nitpick others' work than our own, but we all learn from each other.

Technically I guess you call it a four light setup. When the question first came up I thought she was referring to the lighting on the subject.

And thanks. More to come in the other area...

Thanks Tri. The first two images were ones that caught my eye. The last is her first pick. More to come...

Scott,
Exceptional lighting and wonderful posing, but to my eye, there seems to be a color difference between the wonderful skin tone of her legs/shoulders/arms/neck vs that of her face, and it almost looks a bit motled color on her face vs the rest of her skin tones.

Just curious if I am the only one seeing this, and if it is a result of the makeup or if something else might be going on

[srwatters]

She is a fitness competitor and her legs are actually darker than her face due to bronzer etc. She also has some freckles that show up more in certain body parts. If you look at the full size versions, you probably will see more even tone. One of the downsides of shooting at 39MP is exactly that, the downsizing

And thanks for the kind words Kent.
