tom_permutt 0 Posted September 28, 2002 Lovely. The color is not quite right, I think: the whites of the eyes are pink, and the dark side of her face is green. Link to comment
axel_foley 0 Posted September 28, 2002 It is wierd. This is a direct scan (FS4000) of the NHGII negative. Here, I've changed it a little bit (Sepia toned it). Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted September 28, 2002 Despite the color shift, I like the detail and the expression. Well done. Link to comment
theresa_maeurer 0 Posted September 29, 2002 I really like the unusual coloring and the lovely expression of the subject. On my monitor, I am noticing some type of texture on the picture. I think the photo would have even been prettier without it. Link to comment
axel_foley 0 Posted September 29, 2002 Thanks Theresa. I believe the texture is the low-level jpeg compression I used :(. Link to comment
ghiebert 0 Posted September 29, 2002 I like it too, very much. It varies from the normal type of portrait you expect to see. The dark diagonal goes right into the corner, usually that's avoided - unless it was deliberately done for the odd effect it creates. Link to comment
jack_lo_..._t_o 0 Posted September 29, 2002 wonderful straightforward character shot. Link to comment
aurore_lynch 0 Posted September 29, 2002 I don't usually rate 'studio' type portraits, not really my thing and if it doesn't appeal to me in any way of course it's a little hard to rate. However, this one is a bit different. I LOVE the texture. I really don't know why, but it caught my eye. I'm sure a lot of people will tell you it's too grainy (I know, I've heard it before... why do people hate grain so much?) but I like it just the way it is. Don't usually like sepia either, but here it seems to work well. Had you not had that line of hair to the left (as I'm seeing it) of her face, her face would have bled into the background... good job! Her head is cut off at the top... maybe a little distracting, but nothing major. Great portrait! : ) Link to comment
uccemebug 0 Posted September 29, 2002 Interesting texture. Adds to an already interesting pose. Link to comment
seven 0 Posted September 30, 2002 I like the diagonal created by the meeting of the light, empty space of the b/g with the model; good job there's hair hanging out to her right for clear separation - but in your case that's intentional I'm sure. Nice work Axel. Link to comment
orly_andico 0 Posted September 30, 2002 the top of her head is cropped off ever so slightly, and this niggles me. :) Link to comment
jay_de_fehr 0 Posted October 24, 2002 I like the diagonal composition, and the lighting is good, but the tonality looks poor on my monitor,and is that reticulation or massive grain? Link to comment
axel_foley 0 Posted October 25, 2002 To Jay - it is massive grain, NHG800 has good colors, but also grain. Sometimes like it this way. Link to comment
tony_yarbrough 0 Posted November 6, 2002 Aside from being a very attractive model, aside from being a very aesthetically pleasing photo - does anyone else see that "Mona Lisa" nearly breaking wonderful smile? - Excellent Shot in my eyes. Link to comment
