Vain attempts to perceive

All critiques welcome.

Very nice image. I think if you could have got rid of some of the digital blurs that kindof show the perimeter of your PS work it would be awesome. I like the face a lot. Thanks for sharing. -Mathew Cook-

Thanks a lot Mathew... you are perfectly right---I didn't clean it up after applying the neutral density filter. I'll do that, but since there have been comments already I'll not upload it here.

Nice job on the post process here...

Higly underated!! 7/7

Hashim and Scott, I'm very glad you liked it. Thanks for your comments.

Wonderful image, Debasish. I like her gaze and also the title seems very good. Congrats!

Deb, a beautiful piece of work. Quiet in the white tranquility. What effects did you use to accompish this and the previous version? My attempts at high Key have not been as successful.

 

Take care.

Sabina, I'm glad you like it. My friend whose photograph this is deserves most of the credit I guess for putting up with me, and providing me with such expressions to capture. :-)

Amarji, this sequence of photographs were taken against a plain white background with window light shining on her face, and a table lamp carefully set up. Beefing up the brightness and contrast produced a blown-out image, but the primary lines remained (due to the table lamp). (Also in the previous picture I toned it a bit, perhaps needlessly.) Now a radial neutral density filter eliminated the hair, and little cloning removed shades that still remained... :-) I don't have access to bright light, so this post processing was needed to produce this high-key effect.

I think in B&W monotone, this image is much more effective. I would even crop a bit more, I have attached the cropped version. I like this image Debasish, well done.

Nice rendition Javed...

Javed, thanks a lot. I agree that in pure b/w it is stronger... should have filtered out the milky whiteness altogether. I like your cropping too... it explores a slightly different perspective. Thank you!

nice post process work

 

i can also see that your portfolio is groqing ...

keep up the good work

 

Thanks Suchitra.

This is my favourite in these series, as the fading doesn't affect the main features of the face which have remained clear, a necessity in a high key image. Good work! Lucy

This is my favourite too; I didn't get the lighting quite right in the others. Cheers!

I really love this technique! A lovely model too!

 

My favorite of the series!
