Dear Douglas,
I cannot be another photographer .(let's say Avedon, Sherman , etc etc...)
My model Caro , is a very beautiful and intelligent woman.
Not on dope.
If that is your interpretation (probably my fault too ;) ), I want to
correct this (in her name).
I try to learn every day.
Some photos are old, some new.
If they don't satisfy you , I accept.
Good evening
Linda

To be quite honest,
She has an expression on her face as if she's been out on the dope all
night and is afraid to open her eyes in case her brain explodes - the
voice of experiences in a partially misspent youth (if you didn't have the
experience this way, then substitute booze for dope).
By the way Linda, I'm more or less of the same opinion as Slobodan, please
try posting something that you think might be interesting for the group,
and please stop fishing for compliments and trying to modify your shots
until someone condescends to say that they are alright to terminate the
thread - In my opinion, some shots are good and some are not - basta!
I have long since given up commenting - as have others - as the quality
has not changed even one little bit despite excellent advice from people
with, often, many decades of experience. I have been hoping, to use your
own words that this advice would make you "Come out as another person",
but to no avail. I am not yet ready to begin consigning your postings to
the rejects box without taking a look, but this is very probably the last
comment I'll be submitting.
If your customers are satisfied, then good for them and you - satisfying
the people on this list is a different matter, and is not done by posting
masses of shots and, in effect, asking "am I good?". If I were so insecure
about my shots or photographic skills (if any) I wouldn't post at all.
Sorry that Mr Sharp is so blunt about it, but I think it has to be said.

Must be a shooting "style". Last times I commented, on these postings, I
received a ration of incredulity. So, I don't bother anymore. If someone
wants disingenuous stroking, I'm certainly not the person to do it.
s.d.

Dear members,
This woman is certainly alive and to my opinion photographed like that.
Never had any idea of taking a photo of someone alive (thinking of hte
opposite ;) )
So there has never been a goal towards anything but showing the person
as he / she is at that moment.

this appears utterly contrived, I have no problem of shooting someone
whose eyes are closed in an unposed spontaneous moment...but not to pose
them that way such that the photo appears set up...
not
Steve
Thanks for sharing
Linda
