Your thoughts about compositions, light, DOF and also my mistakes...

Good shots as always Yuri!! I absolutely love 3, 6, 7 and 8. Well done and happy b-day to Olga! :clap

Great shots... I love her jeans...can you ask her to send me a pair to the USA? I wear a size 6. :D

Number four is my favorite, though I also like the one where she is holding the cell phone.

Your lighting looks great on these, Yuri. Only suggestion would be to snap a couple extreme close-ups of her eyes-- which are simply dazzling. Nice work. :thumb

#8 is beautiful. Great shot.

:lust #8 the most. Everything about it.
#7 the eyes :thumb the lighting and #3 also


#2 my eyes get sucked to the bright spot on her chest

most of the women I know do not seem to just wear eye makeup to make their eyes pop. I will have to keep some in my camera bag. :wink

Love #6 and #8. :thumb
Not so much the rest (except #7). :dunno
#7 would join the "winning couple", but that cell phone... :cry
Man, do not ever let your model hold anything next to her mouth... :deal

I love #3!

Hi Yuri,

She has very striking eyes and facial features... My favorite is definitely #6. Great pose, composition, eye contact and post processing.

Very nice...

Thanks for sharing...

Yuri,
how do I say it... as you drift more and more towards formal photography I think you need to take more control over the shots, like in the #7 for example. Drop that phone and you have a winner, while with it the phone becomes ever annoying element of the photo.

Also, I really like #3. It probably is the best in the series. However, when you have someone with such striking facial features you need to study their face. If #3 had similar angle of face to #7 it would be even better.

Finally there is #8, again that awful chair ruins a photo which otherwise had a lot of potential.
