Arrow Knock-out

The title can be taken two ways I'm sure
A couple shots I attempted, trying to learn the studio lighting. Just noticed the bg on the first is a little grayish... will have to fix it later

Fierce

I think you did quite well, it's easy for everyone to compare photos like these to professional work ( because we see it all the time ) and with a seamless white BG it can be easy to spot flaws. I really don't see much distraction and your poses and quality are very good.

It's somewhat advanced technique and I think these are damn good for someone working it out. It helps to have such a pretty model

thanks for sharing them Shutter,

Vin

I like the double entendre of your title. These are very good shots. Looking forward to seeing what you can do with a little practice under your belt!

Yes, I think that's probably my favorite thing about that shot is that little reflection.
