I know, I know... Her again!?!?

I am so proud of this shot. This was my first ever beach shoot. This photo was taken in Atlantic City NJ this weekend on a private beach. There was no flash, no reflector, no fill light. Just good ol' filtered sun. We shot at about 6pm on a hazy day, the clouds were my best friend!

Shot with my D70 and my 18-200VR lens... god I LOVE THIS LENS!

I dunno how this will do, but I am hoping for a good score! I need to get out of this funk! It's been here long enough. :)

Critique Club feedback:

Lighting held this shot back from working as well as it could have. The overexposure along the right side of the model doesn't play well with the shadows falling along the other side of her body. I read in your notes you didn't use any lighting gear,so you take what nature gives. Might have been worth waiting a bit later in the day.

Other than that, the shot is a pretty good 'babe on the beach' type of shot. I think the composition works well, the semi-nudity is usually expected in these shots, and the pose itself isn't bad. The model's facial expression could use some work, but I'm not tasked with giving her a critique so she's on her own ;).

Look forward to more of your work!

Great exposure (no pun intended), great colors.

Well if only the lighting was as good as the babe looks, way too harsh for my taste, I would have taken this shot during dusk for much smoother lighting.

very god DOF. good exposure, though the lights are blown, they enhance the "summer" impression. something looks wrong with her eyes, also, she seems to be unsure what to do with her right hand. the splash at her left hand is rather distracting
