    Good job! Subjects with darker skin tones can be tough. I prefer the exposure in #2 over #1 as her face seems just a bit bright.

    I find the colour off on the second shot, but it is the more pleasing pose.

    I agree with Greg. The second pose is quite pleasing but her skin appears pasty and the other colours are a little subdued. Maybe there is a flash/shade/colour balance issue. The models skin tone are a little better in the 1st picture which may be more sun lit.

    I like shot 1. Looks nice and bright.
    Shot 2 has a blue/green cast and looks underexposed to me.

    Yea I noticed the pasty look too, didn't have much time to play with it this morning, I'll have another play with shot 2 and see if I can fix it up Thanks for your comments!

    I like the first one the best. The hair on her should is a little distracting. She has weight of her body on her right arm which makes the top of her arm look heavy.. Just my opinion

    My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.

    I think they're both good, I also think there seems to be a slight greenish color to the skin though.

    I like the pose in shot 2 better. That shot does have a cast and needs a slight contrast boost imo; both of which are easily done in PP.
    Hope that helps - Marko
