The image above works so well as the models left leg acts as a leading line into the image, (drawing the viewer into the image), and the rule of thirds has been beautifully observed. The pose will have been set up with composition and balance mind otherwise the image wouldn't work in my opinion.

I've been looking for some tips for a good friend and found some useful information here, but I do agree that a few of the no-nos are simply silly cliches. Overall the article is solid.

Looks as if someone found the tips someplace and then shot or found some indifferent photos to illustrate them. I agree with Ed Krimen: the composition of the photos is terrible.

Not only do the photos contradict the tips, but the tips are too convoluted and your subject will look contrived if you try to follow them. The Digital Photography School has presented better portrait photography tips in the past, such as "Capturing Personality in Portraiture" which we covered in the Photobird Daily at http://www.photobird.com/daily/2008/04/15/capture-personality-in-your-portraits/ . But this article above is not one of their better articles. Not only that, but the photos aren't well composed, even though the article mentions the importance of "stellar composition". For more details on what I'm talking about, please see my article "Portrait Posing Tips and Composition Tips" at the Photobird Daily: http://www.photobird.com/daily/2008/09/03/portrait-posing-tips-and-composition-tips/ .

In this particular photo, I would have had her lose the flip flops, but at least they're very colorful and definitely go with the shot...I'm just a bare foot type of guy. ;) Great tips!!
