Meet Alyssa (WM158D head 74)
Re: Meet Alyssa (WM158D head 74}
Don't worry about it, Jimmy. Your pictures are getting better. Alyssa is looking more alive. Sitting there with her legs crossed and her hands folded, she looks to be saying, "Well... I'm waiting...".

She looks great!Jimmy_71 wrote:I really enjoy taking photos of my girls and I'm happy with the progress that I've made.

Punch anyone in the face who says she is plain! Far from it. I like the subtle makeup look (that said, I do seem to keep changing Adara to have more and more out-there lip colours!)
I don't know how people use these forums - I use the 'unread posts' option, but if folks are just looking in forums that interest them, they may miss this seeing as its in "WM Dolls" and not say "Eye Candy".
Whilst its nice when people comment on my Adara picture thread, if they dont, thats OK too - I am mostly posting for my benefit, and if anyone else likes the pictures that is a bonus. I enjoy dressing her and taking her pictures - and for me that is what is important.

I'm no expert, but here's my thoughts on "views and comments" as I've wondered about this many times.
First of all, your Alyssa is beautiful, so I wouldn't worry about her looks or styling.
Below are only general comments on TDF and NOT a comment on your postings so don't take these as negative - I actually like your girl.
1) One thing I've noticed is that a lot of TDF members will only look at the lastest page of a thread. They seem reluctant to page back a couple of times.
Each page on a thread has 15 posts before the next page is created.
Photos have a much better chance of being viewed and commented on if they're posted on a new page or near the top of a page.
This is one reason why some people "Bump" their thread into the next page before posting new material.
So if you already have 12 or 13 posts on your page it may be better to wait to post photos until a new page is created, so that they will be at the top of the new page.
2) The next thing I've noticed is that a lot of TDF members use the "Most Recent Posts" page to find new material, in particular the first page of that thread.
So to get most people looking at your new material you need to time your posting so that it appears in the "Most Recent Posts" page when most people will be looking.
That time seems to be around evening time in Europe, which coincides with morning in the USA. You'll have to experiment and see what happens for your timezone.
3) If you want comments on your photos then you need to try to be a little different than the rest.
For example, there are thousands of dolls on TDF all wearing lingerie and all flavours of lingerie. After a while they all tend to look the same.
So to get some reaction you need to think outside the box.
The viewer has to suddenly sit up and think "wow, that's a great photo!".
If you made a comment on somebody else's post, what was it about it that made you want to make a comment?
Try to think up photo scenarios that are a little different from the rest.
Try different camera angles, lighting, props, clothing, doll poses, etc....
Study the experts like Stacey Leigh, Alottahope, Mandos, etc. What is it that they do that makes their photos stand out?
4) Don't forget that what you think is sexy may not be sexy to someone else.
You can't really predict what someone else will like, it's weird.
What I thought were some of my best photos have hardly any views or comments! Don't know why!
Some of the most sexy photos are not showing a lot of flesh, but tap into the viewers mind, a hint of what could be....
Sometimes "less is more".
5) Also, a lot of TDF members will view a page but won't make a comment. Any number of reasons for that.
Some other forums have a "Like" button which would help here, but we don't have one on TDF.
6) A tip for styling is to try to pay attention to what girls/women are wearing today, what's current.
For example, if you think your girl looks about 20 years old then what do girls that age wear in all the different social settings.
Real girls and women are mostly very good with styling, e.g. what goes with what, what colour, etc.....
Most guys are not so good with this as they don't pay attention!
Get some womens magazines and have a look through.
When your're out and about have a look in the shops and check out what the girls are buying and wearing (be careful!!)
Also Google images is great for this.
7) Finally, don't worry about views and comments! It can drive you nuts!!!
Take photos of your girl for yourself. Try to ignore what anybody else thinks or doesn't think.
Post your photos on TDF if you're proud of them and your girl. The love will shine through.
Anyway, sorry for the long essay/brain dump!
Hope that helps.

They felt and also looked way better than I expected when I first got her. And this pic is really nice, with the glaces being a good fit with this head too btw!
