Re: Post Your Best Portrait Shots!
Thanks Andy, nice of you to say so, I'll put more up over the next few days, (newbie, all excited and that), but just finding my way around the site at the mo, (and photobucket).
She was nude from the waste down, but how could you tell with the flowers in the way ???? [:D]

Rob, Great balance of light on this one. Did you HDR this or are the halos just a byproduct of the lighting?

There's some light PS layer blending to achieve the final outcome. I didn't want the HDR look, but needed to fill some of the shadow areas. I didn't have time for a full lighting setup - I only had 5 minutes to create the shot!

Thanks Denise, heres a couple more;

I Like this one because seconds earlier she said, I always look bad in photos i pose for, (true[:)]), I much prefer candid ones, then turned away & didnt know i took this one;
