Steve, not strange at all.

1.) Most members of this forum are men
2.) Men are created to be genetically attracted to females
Therefore you will get more hits on your images of females, nothing to do with the wrong reasons.

I take most of my portraits & nudes with two other female photographers, and at our camera club approximately 50% of the photographers who specialise in figure studies (posh phrase for nudes) are female. I have also taken male nudes. Are they taking photographs of females for the wrong reasons?

V2 - based on your comments
Shoulder darkened and blurred, highlights on lips and nose and teeth toned down or removed.

Thanks to all, onto the next one.

Thanks all.

The most I can do with the shoulder is darken it down some more, and I think I will also lose the highlights which do give her skin a plastic feel.

Thanks for the comments.

Gareth - you are right about the nose, I will work on it.

Aiki - I see what you mean about the heavy earring, I will try to 'distort' the ear to correct it.

I'm slowly working through my images for this year and did a bit of work on this one.

Comments please - especially ideas for improvement.

One point specifically do the bright highlights to the left of the nose and lips distract from the image?




Thanks.

Where are you getting the IR conversion done, as I would be interested?

I would agree with everyone who said the Sigma 100-300/f4 is fast, with superb IQ.

My DA*50-135 is slow, but I generally use it in a studio, and the models don't move that fast

I would be careful purchasing from that website. If you read their FAQ

Adobe do not put serial numbers in a folder on their DVD, as all DVD's are identical which would mean there was only one serial number.
Pirate software usually has serial numbers on the DVD/CD itself, as they all use the same hacked serial number.

Also you will note there is no telephone number or address on the contact us page.
