models Like a frosty diamond

All comments and criticism are very much appreciated .. Thank you !

Beautifully posed photo with delightful blue color perfectly matched to this stunning model's eyes!! I'm very curious about the lighting. First let me say I love it. Its very bright (I think) on her hair and her face looks flawless but slightly pale due to the strong light. And yet my medical training suggests that with very strong light on the face the eye's pupils should be very small. In this photo her pupils are dilated ....big black pupils surrounded by deep blue irises. I can get that effect with certain pupil dilating drugs but I assume none were used here. Please excuse my fixation with this but I just can't shake loose of it. Was the light softer than I think?? Was the lighting intensity changed during post processing??

First of, the light was soft in the studio but I don´t think it was so soft that it would make this effect on the eyes... This bright light I have done in photoshop because I wanted to give her this pale and cold look....

About the eyes, I don´t know why she has these eyes because I haven´t done anything with them.. But one of my old friends that have contact lenses also gets this kind of pupils when he is photographed.. Don´t know if it´s the case with this model but it can be..

 

Thank you so much for you comment and detailed information..

 

All my best to you, Jill

Jill...you have done a great job of this. Some might say it's too bright...I say it's so good that you have made this look like a porcelain doll. Wonderful work, my dear. Regards, Lawrence.

 

Jill,

 

This is really wonderful! I too like the lighting it adds to the blue frosty feel. Lovley textures and great post work! Well done, Take care, Leslie

 

Jill, what an amazing portrait. The bue eyes the brightness of the skin make her look like a doll as Lawrence says. I love what you did with the b/g.

EXCELLENT WORK!!! Best Regards Glenn

Jill, simply amazing! Great portrait with beautiful lighting. Congrats!

Wonderful portrait. Should we crop a little from the bottom ? Very attractive composition. Best regards.

I love this shot Jill....she's georgeous, and your decison on lighting and colors has made this color just 'pop'....her yes complete it all...beautiful skin....I will be back to rate as my 'pull down menus are not working'.....(script errors on this site with Internet Explorer, that have been driving me batty for about 2 wks.)......I'll have to reboot....but am afraid I'm too tired at the moment. Be back to RATE this 'Beauty' properly tomorrow!!! Gail

Beautiful Jill, the 'blue' themehas a fantastic 'icy' tone...your model is georgeous with flawless skin....she is indeed a 'frosty diamond'......(ps..love the color of her hair..my son Jess (now 30...but when he was a toddler had the exact same color...beautiful) Congrats....great comp, color, original.....and has your 'Signiture' written all over it.

 

Marvellous portrait of this lady with such a fabulous expression. The blue shawl and background contrast so well with her blonde hair and stunning eyes...Regards

Very good portrait and pp, very fine cold tone!

 

This is a very striking image. Very well done in all respects!

Jill, un retrato excelente de esta bella modelo, fantastica luz, y procesado. Felicidades.

The composition with harmonic colors on this picture is great. I not fan of that very strong post-processing on the skin, but in this case it does not look bad.

The dilated pupil are because you the light on the room is very soft; that can be reduced by modeling lights but if you do not have them of the strobes. You can increase the light on the room with incandescence light (I use them); they usually not interfere with the strobe light. Use as many are necessary to reduce the size of those pupils. With smaller pupils you are going to have even greater pictures.In this case they are totally blue eyes.Regards,

Amazing photo. I love especially colors and eyes. Keep sharing and take care. Mustafa.

 

The pose here is great and it's a very eye catching image - well done.
