I like the way that the contrast works with the shallow dof. The portrait has a feeling of depth. I like your work here, and in this folder in general. You have a beautiful family.-jdf

I agree that it is an effective portrait that captures the "angst" of adolescence. I think that lighting that was not as flat would, however, have improved the aesthetics of the image.

Bill, I cannot agree with you. In this image I tried to experiment with combination of "super-flat" light and Kodak TechPan25, hoping to produce the smooth youthful appearance of the skin. Apparently it worked. Both me and my wife who's a model here had a laugh (Please, don't take it as an offence) at the "adolescent angst" comment. Considering the fact that years has passed since she got her Masters' degree, and was doing her career long enough to buy a house, your phrasing is extremely flattering....

I like this and I am surprised it's not a much younger woman. She does appear very young and has such lovely eyes. A very good portrait effect.

Very good indeed! The beautiful face of course helps a lot, but what makes it special is the almost marble-like impression this lighting gives.

You can count me as another victim of your technique - had I not read the commentary I would have assumed that this was a photo of a girl in her late teens.

 

Aside from the "anti-aging" technique, it's also a very good portrait. You've captured a nicely contemplative look. Kudos to both of you.
