White Dress II

Outstanding work, the model stand so well with its light against the critical background lighting, more over the background colors do adds the fine composition here, thank you for sharing this work and wishing you all of the best.

Hi Doug, this picture has an unusual rendering; I was expecting to see warm tones along the lines of "Ocean Sunrise". It's Oddly pretty; maybe it's the slightly muted model, her nutural expression, the pale skin tone and white dress, giving the picture a slight eerie feel.  Was that your intention?

I can see from the shadows that there's a light source from her upper-right; I guess the white balance is giving her a slight blue cast (if my monitor isn't fooling me again). The only negative I see is her support strap showing, a pet peeve - girls just seem to keep tucking at it and never getting it right.

Quite complex lighting scheme really well balanced. Matter of taste here...IMHO the key light on model is a little bit off... maybe 1/2 EV more light could be more interesting for me. Regards. Daniele

thanks for the commentary.  Michael, I believe I fixed that strap (photoshop) since posting this.  It wasn't easy.  the light on the right is actually behind her, in the water.  The key light is just a bit to camera left. 

I agree, the light could be a little brighter on the figure.
