Default Some fun with Courtney

Photographers Comments
Just as it is interesting for these girls to try themselves out in front of a Camera, it is also very good for me to try out different things with regards to my lighting.
Courtney was lit using a single Flash Head with a reversed umbrella, very simple and something which just seemed to work better that I would have previously thought.

Her friend had explained to me that She had been very sick for most of the day, so it was very good to see her brighten up.

Hey Joseph, so good to see your work again. Very pretty shot! Love the colours and the movement. Lighting is beautiful. This one is going in my favourites.

Hey....where did my post go???

I posted a comment this morning and it's gone into the ether lol

Just wanted to say that I like this especially the movement you have achieved with her hair...The composition is good too!

Oh yes, I also mentioned that I wish that I could look this good after being sick all day!!

Hope you get a new camera soon Les.

Nice one Les,

Very pretty model, well presented, Just one critisism if I may, I personally would have liked to have seen her other hand holding the scarf, think it would have balanced the picture out more. Stll a great shot though.

Vibrant colours and the lady is very energetic looking lady - despite not feeling too well!

A great picture, well done Les.

And so nice to hear from you to Debbie, and your more than welcome to save for your favourites. Didn't even know that we had one on this site?

Good one Di,.... glad to know that you liked the compostion, after all big worry that!!!!
Oh! and by the way, you look better sick than anyone that I know.
And one more Oh!....have another Camera for now, but just can't understand the menu yet.

Hello Paul !
and..... "Just one critisism if I may"....ofcourse
I personally would have liked to have seen her other hand holding the scarf, think it would have balanced the picture out more.
Good thinkin'.... But we both would have found it a little hard in this case,
The shot had alreaady been Pe-focused.

Fay.
Spot on Wonder Women.

Hello Phil
Yes good comment, as you mentioned,......"despite not feeling too well !"
Thanks again.
