My style is quirky and not for everyone. Thus, I look at your images differently than the 20 year professional shooter that is judgy based on just that. So let me take what I see in your Best & Worst Image and share it with you! I won't get all technical and what not. But I will give you an honest observation and why!

The mood with the edit and expression make it an overall dream I struggled to find something to find fault with so here it is. . . The halter on the horse, it takes away from the image. I would have no issue with a rope one but the poly green/turquoise one makes me sad. I didn't realize they made it idiot proof to post pics in the forums now. Here I am trying to add code and it's this easy! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous work with us all!

*Then the feeling is mutual Princess, as far as loving the others work..!!..I *Love* that shot of my Gorgeous model Christina, as well...she will be in my *Magical* White horse shoot next week, too...a favorite model of mine to work with..!!.....Now, about that horse shot....I didn't even realize that the horse would need a halter, until we were shooting...and the owner of the horse....said we had to keep it on, since we were in a public park....but yes, agreed...a Green halter sucks....lol....by the way....I am doing another horse shoot next week....with a *Magical* White horse....and was given the option of a flimsy 'invisible' halter, that I could then edit out....or a Black halter...(Cool leather with studs)....I chose the all Black halter...rather then edit out the other....lol......We'll see how that works out for the shots, once the pics get done..!!...Thank You for the input..!!...Always a Pleasure..!!

You too have been on here for a minute! I still love the MM and so here we are today! I do like the new work on your profile. The top images are all wonderful! As is the left pink background ones love them ALL. I think my fave is the left pink background it is a great image! As for my choice of NOPE I go with this. . . https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 953ae2.jpg I read the comments and I still am not a fan. It just sort of says to me ? is it art, figure study, body in motion ? This is my least favorite. Thank you for sharing your lovely work with all of us. I look forward to seeing what's new in your portfolio.

This is my favorite it has texture, emotion and a great feel to the image. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/44626736 For the least I choose this. . . I am just not sure what it depicts? There are so many things that distract from me looking for a meaning or want to understand it. Just no, it lowers your portfolio so much it has to go.

Thanks, I like your favorite as well. That was a fun shoot although we both learned that starting a body paint shoot late in the afternoon could become a rush to take images. My model was a dancer, loved working with her. As to your least favorite, I cannot defend it on any technical grounds nor do I disagree that it falls short of telling any sort of obvious story. It is a snapshot, we were at work goofing off and it just sort of happened. The awkward feet right on the edge of the frame are compositionally terrible, the expressions were spontaneous and unattractive and yet somehow I like it and it gets more than average views (although no commments). I'll probably delete it one of these days. Cheers, Michael

The best I had to search for as I liked more than a few. . . <img src='https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/190520/20/5ce36b7caa54d.jpg' />c Same model best and worst. I like the "real" feel of this and the posing with a suggestion here and there. It is a shot I like a great deal.

They're whats for breakfast. I would LOOVE it as that if her expression portrayed fun but the levity is not there and the intensity does not work for me with the shot. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/45133249 After your Avatar this is my favorite.

This image is my fave, it speaks volumes and is fantastic! It was truly a search to find something to merit less than wonderful. I choose this. . . It is fluff in a sea of meaning. An artist and photographer - to me - allows the image to create its' own place in time. You are absolutely gifted in artistic creativity. And of course the one I struggle with. . . what the heck to do with all those freaking buttons on that annoying thing. I will always call your portfolio "work I wish I had the ability to create!" Thank you for sharing this with me.
