Rain shards.

Critiques and ratings welcome.

with the umbrella over her (at last) i don't mind that she's on her way out of the frame... it's raining after all... lovely photograph... just out of curiousity, what are those things behind her?

My real life mentors have told me to invest in an umbrella but I don't think this is what they meant. Heh.

 

I'm happy this shot gained some of your approval which I value tremendously.

 

Behind her are merely large rocks and green shrubbery beside the pond.

Exquisite b/w portrait, Calvin. I like the beautiful expression and pose of the lovely girl ... now with an umbrella ... protecting her of the rain. Excellent light, contrast and DOF. Good shot! Regards

This is a fabulous image. The composition with her walking to the left and looking back to the right works very well. I see you managed to keep her face bright. Great B&W image. You don't need photoshop to produce exquisite images like this. 7/7 David

Wonderful. Nice soft tonal and the clarity. Amazing composition. You are really creating magic in simpliciity. All the best. Rgds.

Beauitiful tones, excellent pose and model.

 

Regards.

Very nice composition and tones, Beautiful model as well. She models for you quite a bit, yes?

 

Regards, Todd

I love the connection here between the model and the photographer. It is a very personal shot that simply works.

Thanks, David O.

David F., I'm so glad you like it. Yes it's a relief that her face was properly exposed under the umbrella.

Much appreciated, Kaushik.

Thank you, Alberto.

You're right, Todd. She monopolizes my portrait photography. Heh.

Your kind thoughts are appreciated, David M.

Excellent capture and well composed,Calvin!

 

Regards(Bobby).

Thanks, my friend.

Thanks so much, Mehmet.

very beautiful portrait works, thanks

Thanks, Ali.

Great job Calvin. I like everything about this shot. Nice job on the composition and conversion. The falling rain adds a nice element. Well done. Jim

Thanks a million, Jim.

Calvin, I think that this is your best work. B & W, as it should be, the raindrops and the background place your beautiful subject in the viewer eyes in an outstanding way.

 

Thanks so much, Tudor! I agree that this is probably one of the best images I've ever produced.
