I really like this one - very dramatic! Makes me think of old movie stars.

Very good use of lights, compliments.

Thank you very much for your comments and advices.

Glad to read nice comments:)

Good lighting ,beautiful expression...i like it ! thanks for visiting my portfolio and for your comments...;-) Silvia

:)

A most beautiful portrait , The light and tones are wonderful and the model is a classic beauty , Great expression

Good expression, good use of exposure and B/W. Definitely a nice portrait. I like it. Well done

Great thanks to everybody for nice comments:)

vintage looks, good lighting and a beautiful expression makes this pic a winner. the blurred foreground causes distraction on the right side.

Great shot. Like it a lot.

I like the idea, the expression and the light of course, but I'm particularly impressed by the deep and strong b&w here (and elsewhere in your portfolio). Would you care to share some technical post-processing details with a fellow Rebel XT user? :)

 

Very nice shot indeed!

I'm surprised, to say the truth :)

This photo is shot in a very dark room, there was just a little light above the mirror.

There is not any special tool used in photoshop, I just moved "levels" and curves:)

 

regards,

Eka

Wonderful, glamourous shot, nice light and tones, great composition and expression, excellent shot!

No Channel mixer at all? Well, the original exposure is obviously very well-balanced, but you sure got the touch with Curve and Levels!... The tones of the reflections on the glasses, the shirt's collar and the cheek are superb IMO.

 

And your model's expression is perfect for this setting. Congrats!

Outstanding! Love the composition.

Another gem among your gems. Formidable photo of a beautiful woman.

this mirror should replace it's position with this photo. Just excellent job!

very nice bw and crop. my favorite from your port.

Thanks to everybody, again :)

 

 

Dear Paul:

 

here is original file, just resized. Of course, I made it in BW with channel mixer, and then curves and levels + sharp.

To say the truth, that's all I know in photoshop :D I think the black tones, you've mentioned, is caused by lights and not by postprocessing. because, I've tryied several times to recieive the same result (please see my Dry Lake series), but all in vain :)

 

 

So wonderful Lady and superb in B&W :) love her look in the mirror dear Ekaterina. Excellent photograph!

 

and please try to buy the 50mm/1.8 very cheap but very good lens!

Thank you for good advice, I have already bought it, this photo is shot exactly with 50mm, 1.8. That's really very good lens.

:))

Simply EXCELLENT!!! Congrats.

classic. face, expression and composition are masterly. Technically flawless. if this was taken as a portrait of a friend ... she scored. I hope this photo will have visibility in 50-100 years.

Very good job Ekaterina. Ligth, going through the face of the women, makes misterious that picture. And the mirrow, who create an special atmosphere.

Very good job
