Some senior photos. C&C welcome. Full body shots with 70-200/VR and face portraits with 200/2 VR2. Camera was D3X.

Hi Peter

Some great shot of a pretty young lady (not fond of the dress though, but I am sure this is cultural). I especially like the first one.
I am a bothered by the absence of context, it is af the girl's pictures were cut out of a magasine. Did you eliminate the background or did you blow it off with lights?

I don't like the full body shots.  Just looks off-putting with her floating in a void.

The fact that she is floating doesn't bother me that much.
What does bother me is that she doesn't have any feet :)

Thank you for your comment Tristin, appreciated.

Thanks Jakov. I agree, that was unfortunate. She had gorgeous high heels but the dress was still touching the floor.

Thanks Olivier, I used lights for the bg.

And there was I expecting to see photos of an old person, not super shots of of a lovely young lady.

Anthony, in the US "senior" also refers to someones last year of secondary school or college.

Even though I am US, I'm also that other kind of senior and had the same reaction! 

Some nice images in what I suspect is a senior prom dress.  I especially like the portrait in the seventh one.

The portraits are super great, nice and sharp! Very nice ;)

I agree she seems too isolated, cut out in the full body shots, some drop shadow and or location would be great here.

Strange title indeed  :o

Beautiful images

my only critique on on #3 , she is looking sideways and her eyes even more so, showing lots of white of the eyes, I usually tell my models to keep their eyes where their nose is pointing to, I think it looks better

1st and 7th. I think this particular approach works better with details than with the full body. Lovely detailed and attention to hair, make up, lighting...etc. Nice work overall.

  Will personally try more poses, change angle of vision for full body and get more variation between images or show less of them.

   Lovely model.
