Salamat bai. Didn't even notice those distracting elements sa ubos until you pointed it out, charge to experience na lang ni, hehe.

As for your photo, wala man ko'y ika-critique other than to say that this is an excellent shot! Ask lang ko, gi-unsa nang naay murag light shadow nga nag-outline sa iyang body?

[teeemoy]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, pre. you mean kanang murag halo effect? or the light on her skin?

if ang halo effect imo pasabot, sa photoshop rana. i masked the entire layer to make the black background more black, then deselected the model so that mu balik ug hayag ang exposure.

if ang light sa skin nya imo pasabot, it's the way i lit the model, 2 soft lights on either side, then one light 45 deg left w/ beauty dish, and one light 45 deg right w/ softbox.

Aside from distracting elements sa background in my view murag sayop ka butang sa reflector. Distracting lang kaayo ang strong shadow sa nose.

The background distracts me a lot..would prefer a much clearer background and just a sky..I feel nothing special about a the tree. If it would be a big tree maybe yes..

The Colors are bit dull, I would suggest punch a little more vibrance into the image..kay her expression should more happy and vibrant color tends to be more joyful expression.

The way I see it is that the right (camera right) is brighter than the left meaning kusog ra imong softbox. Anyway be mindful lang on what is your Key light and kicker light.

I suggest using selection->Color Range and select the background..its much more efficient if you want to darken the background instead of painting it.

Foe me I would prefer this to be B&W. Expression is good and eyes are tack sharp. I would say good take.

Not sure why you push a blue strobe gel on the ride side. I have seen your series of her on your flickr and for me this is a bit average. Try changing the white balance to a warm color to complement the blue high light and see it if works
