tomshen said:I think PS is definitely better than your earlier works. But looking at these photos makes me feel no breakthrough. Don't just portrait faces/bodies, use your imagination. When you have a good model, try to pose her, interact wit her, and catch her attitude.
I hope you could consider my opinion from the positive light.
I haven't attended any formal photography course except for a few studio lighting ones, so I cannot be any helpful in this regard. Personally I don't think it's necessary to attend a course for improvement. There are quite a number of good websites with many inspiring works. Surf around and find what you like. Imitate them first and later your own ideas will come out.icyflame said:thanks

thinking of attending a course

Anyway, we all learn from each session. Keep it up!
tomshen said:I konw your constraints, but that shouldn't be execuses We all want to do each session better, not just repeating, don't you?
tomshen said:... and again, the above are nice works, both the photos and the model. I am just asking something more, since you seem like a regular...
Wolfgang said:Hi Icyflame;
This series seems to be not up to what you have achieved previously. I'm sorry to say that but have done much better on previous occasions. There is no sense of the viewer getting the sense of physical proportions, or being able to connect with the shots in any level (at least for me) but it comes across as simply some shots of a woman in a two piece... You have most probably understood the basics and the techniques involved. Now, you need to establish a style.
I hope you don't take it the wrong way mate.
Keep shooting.

could you tell me what sort of post processing you have for pic#1? i have to achieve that kind of clear and clean look for the skin tone. or perhaps you could share with me what type of camera, lens and lighting you had there? appreciated.
