[C&C] The angry strawhead

Fenster

Opinions? My daughter does not pout; she dramatizes.

I was gonna say she looks like wurzel gummage

I really like the feel of the shots & she does the pout better than most models

Great set. The way her hair falls over her left eye in the first one gives her an evil scary movie look. I think the pout diminishes as each picture comes along. By the last one she looks likes she's trying to be angry but the moment has passed.

Love #1. Not unlike my own little angel. Looks a great charachter.

I do like the expressions you have captured with your daughter.

What is not to my taste is the exposure & PP. The skin tones look all washed out & unnatural. The backgrounds are also not adding anything to these shots & tend to be distracting.

I agree with Brian and the Mod bloke.
You only needed one pic for the scowl and the PP/exposure is horrid!
But I do see something I like in there....
#3 just shades it from #2 for me.

I think the exposure and contrast looks fine, its nicely done. reminds me of 'fancy paper', not sure if little girls collect that stuff anymore!

Nice set.

The phrase "why so serious?" comes to mind...

like #3. I think the processing is a particular style which you probably were aiming for.

I quite like it even though the colours are washed and the images appear slightly overexposed (this on a non calibrated monitor).

I have a similar style available as a preset which is supposed to give a nostalgic feel to images. On portraits it just screws it up into unnatural looking images. It works quite nicely on larger scenes. But I might actually be the only person in the world that likes that particular preset. Herself often thinks it's hideous. Perhaps I marvel at the technical ability of the software to do it.

Eitherways my long winded point is that I think if you like it, that is what is important (assuming you are the client).

Would it be what a regular client looks for? Probably not. I'd prep them before processing regular client images along that style.

The crops are interesting and I think work pretty much.

Different. Non conventional images. Perhaps non commercial. But imho, good.

I like no. 3 also.

The background/lighting in no.1 makes her right eye (to us) look off compared to the left eye, which I found distracting.

I dont like them at all, the model looks very photogenic but the PP just ruins the images for me.

I like #1 best if you had a version that was a little darker?
