Wilfred,

If you are asking for CC on your photos then please limit your post to the 3 best images of your set. I am changing your thread from CC to NC until you've done so. Please review the New Constructive Critiques Guidelines


Rule #3. Photo Quantity Limitations
Do not post more than 3 photos in a thread for critique. Choose your absolute best 3 shots of the series and post those. Posting more than 3 shots per thread will only hurt your chances of getting an honest critique since critiques do take time.

Thank you,
-Sonny

Maybe it's just me, but....... I really don't like the lip liner when the rest of the lipstick or whatever they use is gone, but the lip liner is still there.... ( I am refferring to the liner on her lower lip).
I agree her eyes are amazing. especially in #2. I also like the soft complexion.

It was a little weird when I looked at the pics... with no knowledge on makeup I could not tell. Thanks for the explaination.

The lip liner is an easy cleanup.

I like the first and third, especially the soft DOF on the third. Great job!

I gotta admit that with those eyes, I didn't notice the lip liner.

I actually liked #1 the best.

Very nice set of images. Love her eyes and lighting used to pop her eyes.

#1 is my favorite. Love the crop & composition, lighting, her expression and her eyes.

I think #2 is cropped too tight.

Like posing, lighting and DOF in #3. Bright background is distracting. Personally I would like to see more contrast.

I didn't observe lip liner issue till I read the posts. But like Charrie mentioned that should be an easy fix.

My 2 cents.
