The 2nd is the best of the set. I would've preferred the others have more blur in the background.

Plus, you're a lucky guy

Nice pics, very nice ladies!

Personally, I don't care much for the crouching poses however.

Bajerunner · Oct 30, 2011

I agree on your favourites. Also not really a fan of the crouching poses.

Love the main B&W, dunno but B&W always has that something.....

Beautiful ladies.

Very nice portraits, well lit and photographed in a good location but I am not thrilled about the water statue behind the heads of your last two shots. We are all guilty of not watching our backgrounds in a controlled shoot before tripping the shutter.

So which two are available?

krottmann · Oct 30, 2011

Hahaha...

Both are married ;-(

Thanks all for your comments, next time I'll watch out for the background and the poses.

Is it the D or G?

I do like the photos - especially the group photo, but would think a wider aperture would work better and resolve some of the issues mentioned by the other posters - or is this the only way to get a really sharp photo?

85mm 1.4 D-

I could have used a larger aperture, there is always a next time ;-)

Nice images, beautiful women. Yes, something like f2 might have created more separation from the background.

Karl,

Good job on the 1st and 2nd ones. The poses in the last two don't do it for me though. Thanks for sharing.

TekSavvy · Nov 4, 2011

I like them all as well; color, composition, lighting, etc... The 2nd pic is my favorite as well and the girls are all beautiful.

hi krottmann.
no1 in my opinion is by far the best.
firstly, i like the b/w composition.
second, the three girls look naturally composed
thirdly, the photo is very well exposed.

wat more can i say. than congratulations..

.Agree..

jfriend00 · Nov 10, 2011

The first two are stellar. Very nicely done.

In the crouching poses, you need to watch out for the intersection of shapes in the background (in this case what looks like a fountain) with the subject's head as it makes their face stand-out less and makes the whole image less visually pleasing.
