I got so many I liked, it was hard to pick which ones to share.  Here are a couple I liked.  What do you think?

I had a really good time a learned a lot about photography.  Thanks everyone!!!

 

 Wow, you did a great job!  It was so nice to meet you at the meetup.  #2 looks a little dark on my monitor, but I think the colors look great.  I havn't even looked at mine yet.  It was a long pooring rain, and then foggy trip home and I am just barely out of bed, lol.  Brandi

I really like the lines of #1 - I would brighten it up in photoshop a bit - but the composition is very nice.

I am undecided about #2... I usually don't mind cleavage, but I think it might be a bit too much... I think it's grabbing the focus of the image...

 

I changed the picture out.  I noticed what you meant about the cleavage and I felt uncomfortable about it then.  I changed out a crop of the same picture.

Brandi-it was nice to meet you too.  I bet you got a lot of great pictures as well.  I hope to see you again at the next meet up!!!!

Dang, Carrie...you have some GREAT stuff here. They are a little dark. I will call you later today. CW

I had actually adjusted them some in photoshop, but my monitor is not calibrated so that may be why.  They look fine on my computer.  I guess I really need to get my computer calibrated.

Here's another one.  I didn't adjust the color this time.

This is really nice...show us her eyes...interacting with you. these are fabulous shots...but I want to see her interact with your camera.

I have A LOT of eye contact shots, but thought I'd post some others because I figured they'd be different from those posted by the rest of you.  Here's one with eye contact though. 

You, Miss Carrie...need to call me...because no one can hear the phone in my house...all the ringers are off...

and...

You soaked up all we talked about and improved 10 fold in a few hours! FABULOUS work, my dear. Lunch...this week, my house, bring the kiddos!

Love it... next time move a little to your right...or have her tilt her head a little different direction, the line of the photograph is "over extended" so to speak since she is looking almost straight up at you.

I will model for you next week! ;0 LOL!
