Lydia

Dear All,

I am just a beginner. I have read much about how-to-make-it-right,

but not sure of the result. I'd greatly appreciate any

help/suggestions of possible improvements to be made,

thanks in advance,

Polina

Excellent portrait motif.

Beautiful B/W portrait, Polina. Lydia's expression is unique. Very good lighting and sharpness. Lovely Lydia! Excellent result. Best regards.

Flemming, David, thanks for your comments - the model is beautiful, indeed. I'd love to ask her to pose for me (this shot was occasional, she wasn't posing, just staring out of the window.)

 

I like very much the portrait,but I see a bit softness.. I dont know why maybe you seek it... Great job.

 

Regards

 

 

I also see the softness, but the original image was blurry, and it was the best result I could get in correcting it manually. I just was afraid that i'd get the worse quality while trying to make it sharper:(

thanks for you responce,

Polina

Polina: This image is exquisite. The lighting on her lovely face is perfect, drawing much attention to her beautiful eyes, and delicate features. Portraiture is so wonderful when captured naturally, and you have done a fantastic job with this portrait, Polina. Respectfully, Tina

Tina, thank you! It was my first trial on portrature:)

If this was your first attempt at a portrait, Polina -- you are truly a "natural". Please continue this pursuit. You are very gifted with it. Respectfully, Tina

Wow! very good for first attemp! :))
