Commenats & Ratings Welcome!

good shot

This is without a doubt one of the best soft, natural portraits that I've seen in a long, long time! A fantastic moment in time, captured perfectly. 7/7+ for sure... The only comment I could think of making would be to recrop to eliminate some of the empty space behind her.

 

An exquisite young lady too!

 

I've included an example, if you do not like it, I will be glad to remove it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful image, it's going into my favorites.... Mike

 

 

It is nice and soft focus is maybe what the subject wants. For me I would like to see the nice hair do and the pearls just a little less soft, The pastel hue is pleasant. The little crinkle lines around the mouth are what give ladies character. Why downplay them is what I wonder. If the background were a flat blue it would have an entirely different style and then soft foreground hed would not blend into diffused mooshy background. Just an opinion but I make no apologies for having a few. I wish you well. gs

Nice portrait, well done!

Gavin, Beautiful Portrait with Perfect Soft Lighting. The Eyes say it all. Regards.

perfect. great lighting. soft.

Gavin,

 

I agree with Michael and Gerry about the crop and perhaps too excessive general "softness" in particular on the eyes and hair.

 

The photo is truly beautiful and the model is fantastic.

 

An alternative to cutting the image may be a lowering of the brightness of the background and an increase in the sharpening of the eyes and hair.

 

I suggest you this rework to explain what I mean, if you do not like it here, tell me and I will delete.

 

Nice shot!

 

Stefano.

A wonderful shot for a wonderful lady!
