Not quite sure what you mean by an "organised environmental session" but I really like this one. Dramatic lighting and good colour saturation. Got a bit of a 80s record cover feel about it - very nice. Great pose and crop too.

It was an organised group shoot at a Victorian water pumping station Paul. The organiser referred to the session as ‘environmental portraiture’. Very pleasant day.
Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

Everything about what she is doing is great and you did a great job of capturing it. The background sets a mood and it works well. Respectfully, on my monitor, the lighting on her face and hair is out of context with the rest of the scene. The whites of her eyes and teeth are so white they distract from the rest of that very interesting face. I would love to see a little more natural lighting on the face and hair with more natural looking eyes and teeth. Again with respect, try being more subtle with the brush adjustments as you make them.

She’s illuminated by natural light (from behind her) plus a reflector., so the light on her hand and face is from the reflector, without which she would be in quite deep shadow. I rather like the effect but it is an ‘uplight’, which you may find unnatural. The whites are a lazy mistake in pp which I corrected later - I can’t show you the result as I’m away from my files for a couple of weeks.
Many thanks for your critique Tyler, I appreciate the thought that gone into it.

Thank you for being gracious about my critique. I realized right after I posted that we weren't in the Photo Gallery section where you would be asking for a critique. I like the photo very much. The lighting, the colors, and that expression has a lot o say.

This is the place to leave critique Tyler - Gallery is for ‘great shot’ sort of response! I only post in three sections - People, Post Processing and For Your Consideration, all of which welcome considered critique. The only exception I make nowadays is if I have a holiday landscape series - that goes in Gallery. That reminds me, I do post in the Landscape section occasionally as they give critique.
