Default Photoshoot of Rachel

Did a photoshoot with a friend the other day. I'm pretty happy with the results, and also very happy that she didn't complain once about the 3 and a half hours in the 100 degree heat!

Info:
40D
EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS USM
Three 580 EX IIs
Cybersync Triggers

C&C please

really like the lighting in 3 and 4. I think 1 could have used a little more light on her face. Have you thought about snooting one of your speed lights? Might be a fun exercise.

1 & 2 has dead grass & a branch in them that is distracting.
3 is the strongest of the set.
4 - You cut off her toes and has the brush in front of her. Best pose of the set.
5 - Her chin disappears into her neck. She has a tree growing out of her head. Camera seems to be below eye level.
6 could use some fill

Something that was stressed to me was "background, background, background." The tractor is a bit distracting with all of the rust and brush growing over it. It's also the brightest object of the photo which draws the viewers eyes to it. #4 works very well because of the simplicity of the background and how her top blends into the tire bringing your attention to the brightest part of the image, her face.

The wardrobe has quite a bit to do with drawing the viewers eyes to her face.
