I think you did an outstanding job with the color Asher!

Thanks, James!

I am very careful in mostly using custom profiles for each lens-camera combination. I obey standard rules of color respecting the calibrations. However, in this case, the files were made with a 5D for which I have yet to create profiles, so I rely mostly on the best sampling for white balance. Only very rarely will I alter color balance by eye, but if I need to, I have a lot of mental memories stored of what the colors should be. Still, that work needs to b done on a cor profiled monitor in dim light with no obvious colors visible, except for that picture. No colored shirts and no magazines or colored coffee mugs on my disk to create a color distraction.

Hi, Asher,

Firstly, congratulations on your new model. She is exquisite, and these are three nice works.

I like #1 best.

In #2 I am put off a bit by the seemingly-gratuitous lack of proper focus on her face. Rather than "soft", it makes it, to me, look just a tad "scrambled".

In #3, the pose is very clever, but the perspective does not work well as to her legs, which look as if they were put in place in post.

I understand that these shoots can be "dynamic", sometimes with unexpected results in many or all shots, and that not all viewers will have the same "tastes".

Best regards,

Doug
