My friend - M

[Peisqo]

Hi guys ... this is my 2nd time shooting portrait .. as title, she's just my friend. Not model or such. So please direct all critics to me ( she'll be viewing so be nice :P ) I'm very sure i need more work on composition. We shot for 2 hours and i move left right up and down for composition and I can't seem to get the "angle" right .. would appreciate constructive criticism like "#4 should have been taking at eye level" or "get the model to do this do that" .. things like that would really help ... Thanks in advance :) Here's the photos

i think generally ok, but don't really like the "blurry" effect (maybe is my computer), just not my taste :)

I do feel that #4, #7, #8 and #10's poses are a bit "out of proportion", can feel very tense from the pic.....
