So, I did a friend a favor and shot her senior portraits (against my will).
In the end, we both had a lot of fun!
CnC is appreciated! Especially b/c they haven't been printed yet.

Thanks, and yep it was a home-made light box with a piece of granite tile. I kinda over did it with the petals. If I was doing it again I'd use less so you'd see more of the reflection of the flower.
^^Great eyes, very well done.
Nice one, TheReef. I like the reflection in the pool of water on the rocks.

I think that is a great shot. Especially under the pressure of having to shoot her senior shot. Her eyes pop.
Thanks
Wow, very nice! Looks like the stuff they include with Aperture.
Thanks! During that session was the closest I've ever gotten to a hummingbird. At times I was even hitting the minimum focus distance (1.3m), and it didn't bat an eye. The buzzing sounds they make when they fly is something everyone needs to hear up close
Nintendochick - Just curious... with your skills as a photographer, why the reluctance to help your friend? There is nothing in your photos (from what I have seen) that would suggest you would do less than a great job. Love the shot BTW.

Always impressed with your stuff NintendoChick, you did great on this shot!! The most important element in portraits are the eyes and face, you made her eyes pop and added great layers of light to her face so as not to appear flat. You're a natural.
On the criticism side, this is a suggestion more along the lines of try and see how it looks, but have her tilt her head a little bit more upwards to prevent her eyeballs from getting too much white on the bottom, and to point her face more directly at the camera. But that's more try and see.
Thank you everyone!
mcavjame: I've always been afraid to shoot portraits. The human body (and soul), is just so dynamic, I'm always afraid I'll loose something in the photograph. And I REALLY didn't want to mess up a friend's senior portraits...

I find this picture quite soothing. I really like the shadows on the right-hand side.

I'm a guy and a few of my senior classmates asked me to take their casuals after the photography studio we used yielded disappointing results. Sure, I was nervous about getting them right, etc...but they all loved them! I'm not as experienced as you, and my shots weren't as good as the one you posted here. I'm sure that she will be stunned with the results. That's a great shot!
