A couple from a shoot with Elaine a few days ago.

I like the swimsuit picture because, although old, I'm not dead yet. But the intensity of her gaze in the first is really powerful. Nice work. Very. You might consider PSing out the thingie in the background in the (viewer's) upper left.
Good job. Thanks for sharing.

Where is the focal point of the first image? Her eyes are out of focus, and the fabric against her bust is sharper then her eyes.

Do you see what I see?

[RonC]

Thanks for your comments John,...the thingy is a picture frame on the wall behind her.
And glad to see you still enjoy viewing the beautiful things in this life.

Focus is on the eyes Dave, always on the eyes,...this is a cropped jpg from a full body shot,..canon 20D, 24-105 L IS lens, at about 40mm,(I need a bigger house), auto spot focus,1/60 @ f7.1, iso 100...but I see what you see. So I PS'd a copy, and sharpened the image some more and improved it I think,...too bad I can't use PS to sharpen my eyes,..and of course images in PS always look better than on the web. I normally save for web no larger than 140kb, but I saved this one for web at 291(max) kb which made a noticeable difference in the preview box/window.
Thanks for pointing it out to me, I value your input.

Sharpened copy.

I don't think you need a bigger house - one of my favourite lenses for full length shots is a 35mm f1.4L - that focal length, used carefully, yields good images.

I like the images, and I'm wondering if that swimsuit is as skimpy as it looks (the bottom looks like a g-string worn backwards!) :-)

A little better but still missing the crispness.

It's not only skimpy...it's see-thru! Some kind of smoked plastic material...I bet the store that sells that has a lot of interesting props...

Just one thing bugs me really-the foliage in the foreground is kinda distracting. Yes foreground interest is great in some images but not this one I dont think.
