Well - a very different day at the Goth festival today than yesterday! I was lucky enough to bump in to Fat Spider and B Forbes - thanks for letting me tag along Alan and Barry - it was a very enjoyable afternoon.

IMHO - this girl was the star of the day. I hope I have done her justice - and if I haven't - then Alan and Barry may well have some much better shots than mine to share with you

That is one beautiful lady, she must have attracted quite a crowd of togs!! just love the second shot, I think you have done her justice.

TBH I do not like any of these, the poses seem forced, and the lady has issues with her eyes.
The best of the lot for me is No2, but there is an anoying thread or hair on her breast, ged rid of that and this at least could be rescued. Assuming it is a crop; re-crop from the original but shift the crop centre to the right, thus excluding the arm, and leaving some space to the side of her face.

The poor girl was being posed by several photographers so not surprising she looked over posed. Point taken about the thread - but I can't crop it the way you suggest. Perhaps I have chosen the wrong shots - maybe these are better:

IMHO;
1) Nice shot, the blue oblong at the top right is a bit distracting,but that`s a minor niggle.
2) She has a great smile, the arms spoil the shot.
3) Best one of the series by far; again to be a bit niggarldly the grey thing in the background is a bit distracting, but apart from that it is an excellent image.

The first one of the second set is my favourite

One small crticism would be that there should be more

I like what you have done with these given that this young lady is posing for a number of togs at any one time and that lighting as a result would not be easy (numerous flashes I presume) - I'd say it is a job well done, however, had this been a studio type environment with you having more control of the model and lighting then life may have been a little easier for theser shots

Oh I forgot too mention that my portrait/ model skills are non existent
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

Not had chance to really look at mine but I dont think I managed to get any better than these, Barrie showed my one on his LCD which looked fantastic, he's probably clinched it.
