Cool! I'd work on some Curve adjustments in post processing to get that white seemless backdrop to disappear and get her colors to pop more! Sounds like a fun project.

I agree that the other girl (the blonde) was much more natural in front of the camera, but what can I do about that?

Ah... this is the challenge, isn't it: how to get the best results from every portrait... not just subjects who make it seem easy? There's such a fine line between a smile that seems real... and one that looks ever so slightly posed... and this may be the difference between a portrait that's OK and one that really grabs and holds the attention.

How to do that? I don't know... I just photograph fields...

This is great. I think you did a fine job while keeping both feet planted firmly on the ground. I'm an incurable history buff and really miss England. Do you have a link to more information on this location? You've really got me wondering which bits go to which camp/village.

Thanks. The pic is of Chew Green, in the Northumberland National Park. Google 'Chew Green' for more info. It's not a well-visited site, though the accumulation of settlements makes it kinda interesting...

Northumbrian grasslands and a two-headed sheep...

Nice shot. I would like to see the same composition with a little more light before the sun going completely down.

This is great, did you do any bracketing (HDR) with it?

 

[BPresley321]

Capitol building in Austin.

That is what I thought! I've lived my whole life in Texas and had been there once when I was a child and didn't remember the visit. I recently went back a few weeks ago...neat building. I had no idea half of it was underground either...

Thanks, maybe I'll post one later.

Great Shot!

Thanks

This is great, did you do any bracketing (HDR) with it?

Yes, I took about 5 different exposures and merged them using HDR software.
