wogears 186 Posted October 11, 2008 Excellent, warm portrait. Good job holding detail. I think a slight crop at the top would tighten the focus. Link to comment
ifti 1 Posted October 11, 2008 Love the expression of the gentle subject. However consider the following: 1: It is not sharp 2: Lighting is not balanced with right side of the nose and right forehead burnt out while left side a bit too dark. 3: BG is very distracting. Thanks for sharing. Regards ifti Link to comment
celasun 0 Posted October 12, 2008 Thank you all very much for your rewarding comments on this photo; I do appreciate them.Juan, she wanted me to pass her warm regards to you after reading your sensitive words. I am also pleased to see you here again. Les, you may be right about the cropping. I will try printing this photo cropped.Iftikhar, the original is sharp enough to show her eyelashes and I have tried not to oversharpen as that would have made the wrinkles more prominent and might have damaged the mood. I had no control over lighting as this was within a mosque. Still, there is some (recoverable) detail on the bright side of her nose. I have left the background as such as I thought it (Seljuk design) provides a clue to her ancestry. Cropping, as Les have suggested, may also lessen the distraction somewhat, I think...
