This is nicely done and it doesn't look like a grab shot.

One of those moment's where everything falls into place - caught very well.

sorry for the small size. it's an old scan and i can't find the

print to rescan it. also, this is before i discovered USM so i will

post a slightly sharper version for review. although, i have grown

to like the soft quality of this version. all comments are welcome.

thanks for the comments.

except that monitor... it's just a tad intrusive for me.

Good candid capture in testing conditions.

It's not a photo, it's a stamp ! :-)) Sorry, but it's really too small to be analyzed half-properly. It does look good overall, and the ray of light is certainly a great addition to this scene. The pose isn't very flattering, but it doesn't bother me at all, since this is obviously an insight in somebody's daily life, and not a fashion shot. It looks good, but then again, I can't make up my mind about all this, around her. What's going on in the background ? Does it disturb slightly ? Is it blur enough ? I can't tell about all this at this size, sorry.

For sure, not bad at all - I just can't see how good since this is a stamp...:-) Regards.

I like the photograph. The pose looks very relaxed (even though she wasn't posing), and the image is captured really well given what look like a lot of different lights going on in the background. The monitor on the right is a bit distracting but does not spoil my enjoyment of the photograph.

for your viewing and critiquing pleasure i have scanned a larger version from an 8X10 print. the print is cropped a bit tighter and loses some of the interesting stuff at the top.

 

interested in hearing your comments.

When I look at this my first thought is; What is she thinking?

 

So I think you have done a great job.
