still shooting puppies i see, I like the way she is lit but the shaddow is a bit too imposing for me.
Missed your quad week . . . but what an absolutely adorable puppy
I can't say anything else about it . . . he's just gorgeous and you've caught the moment perfectly !
Shoot : Brilliant concept and well executed.
I have to agree with the harsh shadow comments though . . . sorry
So nearly there, but just a touch too harsh.
My other suggestion would have been to get her to hold the rifle just a tiny bit higher in the frame. I think you've cropped at just the right place on her legs but I'd prefer not to have lost the bottom of the rifle.
Hi Scott,
Catching up again for me...
Produce: Wonder what you thought about Panorama as a monthly comp subject for April. This is a stunning image and who cares about crowbars! It's a lovely vista and would probably look great as a wall canvas.
Quad: Cute pic of a cute dog... For me, moving the dog from centre frame might make it a bit more pleasing to look at.
Shoot: The description helps certainly, but it's not doing a lot for me. I'm wondering if it's composition that's bothering me. Quite a bit of space above the model, and chopped off at the knee. That could well be me though as I'm no expert on studio stuff! Also, bodies don't interest me that much...
Another +1 for the shadows, for which I apologise
Ian.
That's a good balancing act!
Nicely caught
That really made me laugh.
Great moment to capture and the duck is lovely and sharp - right down to the twinkle in his eye.
It's a shame that the lake behind him is slightly blown out. Even though it's out of focus, it would be nice to have a little more detail there.
heh heh.. it does think its a flamingo
I like how he's nuzzling up to his bowl, too. I agree that the shadows on her left are harsh - but that creates the drama of the shot - together with the shadows cast behind her. It also helps to keep it out of the payboy category and firmly in the nude art category (imho). As for cropping the stock off the gun - I don't think you had much choice. If you had cropped lower you would have had to make it full length, thus losing some of the impact of those shadows. If the model had held the gun higher you would have found yourself back in centre-fold land. I think you could have got even more impact by getting the model to turn slightly to her left to suggest that she was just about to take aim. for me, whatever the theme was.
Bit of catching up to do!
Quadruped: Ahhhh,
Shoot: First off - if this is your first studio shoot, I think it's brilliant.
My only issue is with the .... I was going to say 'full frontal' pose - but you know what I mean!
So - definitely
Single: Hehehe - we certainly can't complain about lack of variety in your thread. Very well spotted and captured. I love the expression - he looks like he's smiling.

second and third was I needed a Panoramic for this month competition and also something for this weeks 52. 
Nice take on the theme but her lipstick is annoying me
Very attractive lady there Scott. I agree with Briony though - she needs to reapply the lipstick.
Brilliant shot with a definite 'stare'. I love the eye make up, and thought I'd mention that instead of wishing she'd reapplied her lippy (or left it off all together!)
Definitely meets the theme in an eye-catching way!
Jean
for them too. All round great set. Iain
#2 gets my vote Scott. As has been said above, the young woman's eyes certainly draw the viewer in. A sharp image with lovely rich colour and a very photogenic subject. I had a look at your other images from your day out,
Spot on mate.
Really nice image for this theme. Must have been a good day out for togging.
Has anybody mentioned her lipstick though?
Andy
Absolutely spot on for this week's theme.
