[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 221262, member: 12496"] [b]Re: Constructive Criticism please[/b] I'm hesitant to say anything, and have been putting it off. Because I think they show a lot of planned work, and came out pretty good, and I really don't want to criticize. I like the soft off-camera flash on the left one, and the rear lighting on both. But I do have a couple of objections. One is that both show too much flash exposure. The skin tones are overexposed on the left one, flat, not even pink. The dress just clearly shouts overexposed too (the button itself does not bother me, a bit less flash would solve it). The right one is not so much flash, but it still stands out too much, like the cute girl was photoshopped in (which may have been the desired effect). But the camera was too close on the right one. Perspective is wrong. The near elbow is as large as the face. Never stand too close. Stand back a little farther, 6 or 8 feet anyway, always, and then zoom in as desired, to preserve the perspective. Perspective is only about where the camera stands. [/QUOTE]
