Nina in Deep Ellum - C&C please

[kimberley]

the lighting is very nice in these great job!

One thing I saw, try to not shoot up at the model, at least up the nose.....we dont wanna see boggies :) It looks as if she maybe would have lowered her chin just at tad that would take my eye away from her mose..my eye tends to go right to them...oh and watch the nippies ;)

2 cents, ya get what ya pay for :)
1st set, #1 skin tone and background tone are almost identical, no contrast re:model/bg, #2 ya got some contrast there, but her expression looks like "is this OK???" to me, 3 bingo, contrast, good expression, nice light, nice composition (more on this one later).
Second set is better, but...re those backgrounds, here's yer trouble, flat perspective. Get some angle in there. And try this out on those bricks. New layer above image layer, fill with 50% gray (edit>fill I think), change the blend mode to soft light or overlay. Paint (soft brush) with black (like 12%) opacity to darken, white to lighten. Run a little blur on that layer when yer done paintin'. Look at the preview, get the edges you just painted to blur some. Usually like 25 or so for me. Or, just use the dodge and burn tools, but they sift color too much for my taste.
