  1. first pic might be better if taken closer to the surface on further end of the bench. and the beautiful flower not so centered~ more like leading line effect and more dynamic i guess
    i like sam's first picture with blurred background :D though the door intricate pattern is great but it focuses more on the model ^.^
    a nice potrait shot.

  2. 1st picture is nice. Not much of a comment here.

    2nd picture is not 1 of my favourite. Is nicely taken. True. But Sammie's a bit dark. Is like your lighting are focus in the center of the picture. Im wondering why din you upload the picture where Sammie is sitting on the bench.

    3rd picture not my favourite also. Is weird and awkward.

    4th. Nice. But too bright. I dunno the term use lol. Is it too much exposure? But still is a nice shot. Keep up the good work!

  5. Second picture, ok. Maybe a little more to the center would be nice

    Third picture is ok too.

    but 4th picture irks me a bit. Surely you have a better shot than to have one that allows us to see eyebags! XD

    Thanks to ze lighting, she looks tired. The bottom of the eyelid which is a bit puffy got highlighted by sunlight. It makes it...obvious

    All of us have those, frankly...but as a photographer it is your job to make her look cantik. You try to get shots that negates any flaws and accentuate her good points.

    The first girl picture is the best shot. It gave the illusion that she had a sweet, small face even though like what we saw in the second picture is that she actually have quite a rounded one.

    It gives the illusion of innocent daintiness, albeit a tinge of sadness.

    Good pictures stand out because they make someone who could be normal look great. Keep that in mind

    Like the first pic in the nonya post,
    that one was decent
    so were the 3rd and 4th pics
    although the expression was once again all brooding n stuff but the lighting was nice
    So the facial expressions was captured nicer than the rest.
