I took these shots a couple of weeks ago. It was the models first time ever shooting and she did a great job. I know that there are some changes that I could have made to the background, model distance to background and DOF, but it is all a learning experience right? Hope you guys like the pics.

The third one seems out of focus, but I personally thing they're great. I like the backgrounds you've chosen. The last one is may favorite.

I like the photography and the model in these
in reading up around here I noticed some of your earlier stuff, and am really glad you have kept with it
as far as focus, for me #4 seems just a touch, but I still like it
#1 is my favorite

Whooo, nice shots

My 2 cents: in both pic 1 and 5, she squeezes her calf against her tights which make 'em look hyooge. A slightly higher stance (?) would remove some of the compression and lean the leg out a bit. She's well in shape, and it shows!

Number 3 is obvously everyone's favorite, but they won;t admit it, I DO!

Hey thanks for all of the comments still battling with focus, DOF, lighting, and all the other aspects of photography, but lovin' every minute of it.

JoeBar, I see what you mean about her calf. I will have to watch that next time. And you're right she is in great shape. Can you believe she is a Marine? I don't remember any Marines like her while I was in.

We shot all of these in an abandoned warehouse district. Kind of cool area and nice contrast. She was great to work with and willing to climb obstacles and try some wild stuff, so it was definately nice to work with a model that was on time, not afraid of dirt, and willing to take direction and try different things. I am loooking forward to seeing some of her stuff once she has a chance to work with a really good photographer.

Hey, thanks again for the compliments and constructive criticism.

Those are some great pics!!! The young lady is beautiful. I like all of the pics, but I have to agree with JoeBAR; #3 is definitely my favorite. So she is a marine, huh? Wow!!! I had no idea that marines could be that beautiful!!! LOL!!! I think you need to take those pics down to the local Marine Recruiting Station and post them on the windows. I'll bet that their enrollment would increase significantly. Thanks for sharing the pics and I look forward to seeing some more of them.

The pics are great, and so is the model. I didn't know women could become Marines now.

My favorites are the first and last pics. They make a good wallpaper background for your PC.
