The only thing I might do is clone out the freckles on her left arm in the bottom photo - but other than that, they're very good, especially for someone just starting out, as you admit.

Thank you, i thought of doing that, but I ended up not because it was her natural skin, and i dont really like messing with peoples skin. She is beautiful. But maybe I should take out freckles for shoots like this?

I haven't had a chance to examine all the pics closely but you are really good. Kudos to your compositional skills, lighting, posing. You are gonna make some money...

I think they look great, and I think they were tastefully done. There is an art to the human form. It doesn't have to be nude. Nudity is just a quick eye catching method and most of the time, not art. Well done!!

Here are a few more from the the shoot:
Nice work again in skin tone and lighting. Your composition and tilting works again. In # 1 I would reshoot with her lips together. I think it's a better look for her.

These are VERY nice. I the one where she is kneeling (the black lingerie) I would clone out or crop out that tiny bit of black in the lower left corner. Very well don.
OH - Sman reminds me of the Saturday Night Live character that Dana Carvey played - The Church Lady. Watching him go nuts has been most entertaining.

I liked them all. I am impressed with the creativity, lighting and posing. You really have a knack in this area. I think that the suggestion to crop out a dark area in the bottom left hand corner was good. I am more partial to color photos than the B&W as skin tone and color are emphasized. The model did a great job as well.

I am not offended by the content, it is like walking down a beach. That being said, I have a tip for you. Use a tripod,put your camera on M, and hand focus all important photos. Auto focus will not get as clear. Focus between the eyes until you see each eyelash, then back out of your zoom until you have your shot. Your shot will be as clear when enlarged 400% as it is at 100%. Also use a remote trigger to stop any shaking of the camera. This is one of the most important things I learned in Photography school. I wish you the best and a lot of success.

sman, first of all, it's not up to YOU to "keep this site clean and wholesome" unless you're the site owner or a mod. second, we really don't care where you think Jesus "delivered" you from... we all have had trials in our lives, and we've all gotten through them. if you want to credit your belief in some higher power for saving your bacon, go right ahead, but understand that not all of us share your willingness to attribute that to a being whose very existence has never been proved, and who demands fawning adulation and blind obedience under penalty of purgatory or worse. such petulance hardly befits an Omnipotent Deity OR a loving Father.
frankly, you're beginning to sound like the damned Taliban! these shots are not offensive to any normal human sensibility - you see more than this on a summer day at the beach! if you don't like the idea of seeing a woman in scanty but decent attire, or can't stomach the beauty of the human form (didn't God make man in his own image? why is THAT a problem for you?), then don't open the post!! sheesh!
kindly keep your religious zealotry to yourself! we aren't interested in hearing about your sweat-lodge hallucinations. this is a PHOTO forum, not a place for proseletyzing. you wanna do that, i'm sure there's a Southern Baptist church SOMEWHERE looking for a fire-and-brimstone preacher...

very well said Squirrel. Also, I was thinking, in every depiction of "Christ" on the cross that I've ever seen, he's wearing nothing but a loincloth. This is presented boldly in the front of every church I've ever been in. I'm having trouble seeing the difference. Wonder what Sman would say to that.

After looking a bit closer to your pics the only thing I can see is what seems like a couple of blood veins on her lower legs in the BW photo. I would PS them. Its a bit distracting...but I still think it is fabulous work. She is a beautiful young woman and the composition, lighting, exposure, sharpness, and bokeh are so great!.
