The pictures look good. I like the Blue on Blue one the most. I think it is the most unique shot out of the 4.

They look good Bob!

I liked the first one especially!

Bob take my cooments for what they are, just a single person.

Also note I cannot draw a straight line even with a computer unless I write the program myself. I always seem to be a pixel off. ;)

Picture one:
I like it. If I was to make a recomendation it would be to get a little more of her right eye in the picture. Her eyes and that look she is giving is attractive, and it would add to an already nice picture. Just a little or touch, not much the angle is almost perfectly right. In my opinion.

Picture two:
The colors stand out and the look good. Is this just a picture? Or is it supposed to capture a feeling or promote a piece of clothing. Just as a pic is is nice. But not sure what it captured.

Picture three:
I like the action and positioning of the model. I even like the hair over the one eye in this case. To me though there is too much blue. Or the shades are too close, for me being Blue/Green sensitive to color.

Picture four:
First it is very difficult to take pictures of blades and make it look real. So I think you did a good job on this in general. The fact that the two long blades and then the short blades are also crossed. This means both hands are crossed on the body even though you did a good job putting them high and low. You could try one person using left long and right short, or having short on long for a parry like action.


I wish I could see things like this to place them for pictures myself. Like I said take my comments for what they are. :)

Good Luck

I sometimes do photographic enhancement professionally. And there is a trick that can help sometimes.

You usually want a nice wide range of values from light to dark. That's something that improves photos alot. But the eye can be fooled by color. So to see if you have a good variety, take a copy of the image and make it black and white. If you get too much of one shade of gray and it's not on purpose, then it's .... hmmmm... I forget the term...but it has too much data in one area.

:D
