Nice to hear a story of success and overcoming your fear, Carl. Great lighting and variety of expression.

Where do you find such lovely models? :)
These are really nice poses and expressions. Were you happy with the exposure on #1, and the contrast on #2? Are those the looks that you were going for (technically)?

Thanks Lea and Warren!
** I am not sure I had a choice in the matter. My girlfriend is stronger than me ** =)
Well I have mixed feelings about a lot of them. On one hand I thought most of the expressions were real and not forced but not happy I needed to have a catch light. I couldn't get both Speedlights to trigger without my on camera flash. So I pushed the blowout look a bit further than I will next time.

Well done Kash, nice feeling of the scene and her distant thoughts, especially in the first with the sleeping dog.

Hi Kash, welcome to the gang!
Very nice photos, especially the 2nd one.
Very nice street capture, great portrait of second one...
Lena,
I like the repeated elbow bends that point at her sitting there behind the bench. << Great expressions in both.
Lea beat me to it! I also noticed the circle of elbows and knees (even the dog's), which made image #1 interesting to look at. I also like the woman's expression in #1. That's why I like #1 more the #2.

Haha! I was wondering if any of you would catch the fact that there are more elbows than faces in that image! I was about to crop the dog and the elbows out but decided to leave them in there because of the repetition of elbows.
Keshav: technically, in order for it to be a REAL Strangers Project entry, you needed to introduce yourself, ask permission to take her picture (the subject knowingly lets you take the picture) and find out her name and some interesting fact about her! Try that next time. It's okay to leave the tag on this one, we're not that strict. :)
