out-takes and test

I've been shooting alot of editorial and sorta fun fashion images lately and I've noticed I like my test shots and out takes better than the real shots. I don't know what this says about me as a photographer or if my talent is trying to hard and it looks forced ?

Had some free time the other day and worked with a model. I had some ideas for some action shots. Hard light from camera left and back.

test shots

Some goofy test shots of me from a shoot, thanks to my trusted self-timer. Notice the GREAT sensitivity of the AlienBee, had an extra sync cord with a peanut going between stands, very professional ...... Now to edit 600 files ......
