Model with Sunset

[Mamarazzi_2008]

The background almost looks fake. But it's the real deal - anyway - just wanted to know what you thought - anything I can improve on - would you have done something with it post processing wise (this i just barely touched with vignette and eye sharpening.)

I like it, the background color is amazing. Can I have the model's phone number

The only issues I have are the weeds on the bottom right and to the right of the model.

i think the locale and time you shot is beautiful. my problem is...the models outfit looks kinda trashy and takes away from the photo. and the bright lipstick

this makes about as much sense as saying it would be a better picture if she wasn't a blond...

nice capture, nice balanced fill flash...

I think the weeds add to the picture especially with the dress being a bit behind them. however, I'd go for a moderate crop on the image to place the model a bit higher and left of center (cropping off some of the top and left) She is a bit far down and centered for my tastes and even with a crop you still get a good perspective of the setup and color variation with the sunset.

Fantastic Shot! fill flash and sun set balance...make up for a great picture..

nit picking wise... dont like some of the weeds...the corner ones and the tall one.... the tall one says "look at me too" lol...
we usually bring scissors to cut things like that out of the picture.

Again good job

Im so off my game today and I dont get what you are saying - could you do it when you get a moment and show me?
Thanks!

And thanks to all who have critiqued! Im going to play with weedkiller in photoshop (no it's not a spiffy action - Im just gonna clone the puppies out!)

I wish I could see a larger image. From what I can see, I like the lighting. Pic seems focused. Good pic.

What is your light setup?

[candleman]

it looks good.

2 things.
1. the background isnt dark enough.. she needs to be brighter than the background to really pop off.

2. i'd compose it so she's more to the side of the image (not so dead centre.. that allows more "sunset" in.
this composition kindof makes her block out the background as oposed to it blending through. (if you get my drift)

heres one a did a week or so ago.

The horizon being sloped got me... I'm a big fan of the vignette - I'm not sure I like it so much in this shot though, why? I don't know - I just think I'd like to see more of the sky? - or something. Great setting...
