These are from a session today. Thes have only been adjusted slightly. They were shot in RAW. I have plan on getting LR soon (love it!) since my trial has expired.

I don't know if this link will work, but here goes..

The link works. Yeah!!!

I value the opinions on here, so I would like to know what you guys think. I use the presets on LR, but since I don't have a version running, these are close to SOOC.

Really nice! So cool that you got her into the river, and I love the shots with the arches too!

Cool shots, the river is such a neat idea. Some CC? I hate the processing. The switching between greenish and bluish tints in the same environment is strange.

But you're on your way man! I love the poses in general and the variety of shots.

I like the arches shots too.

I'm not crazy about the blue tinted shots in the river. Although, if you boosted the contrast and/or increased the colour saturation, I think they would look better.

Thanks for the CC. I was looking for compositional direction, so thanks. Color thing for me can easily be changed (I am loving raw!). After this shoot, I don't think I will use JPEG for pictures that "matter". I was able to pull some of these back from being under/overexposed that actually turned out really good. I didn't do any cropping, I want to wait until we narrow down which ones she likes. I want to add vingietting(spelling?) to a few, etc. The first one of the arches I want to do on canvas and place in her mother's hoppin' Salon.

I did take your advice on the tints and removed them. The album flows better now. I only deleted about 10 of the 200 pictures I shot of her.

And her Momma loves them. Her Daddy plays for Lynyrd Skynyrd! How cool is that?

Here's some thoughts:
1. She LOVED it once she got in the water; said it was the most fun she's ever had.
2. The dress gets very heavy after she gets wet.
3. People will look at you with the wierdest looks once you do this...

that is way cool!

Hey Chris, I like that you did a variety of shots.

Do you know why there is a color shift in the pictures?

They were all shot in RAW with white balance set to auto. The color changes are just me playing with WB or Picture Style. This was my first real session and I have had a blast playing with them.

It is bringing me a ton of Business. All the kids have seen them and want me to do their pics.
