This could have been a stunner ... if only you had brushed the hair off her face ! Bill

Hello! Very good portrait. Best regards.

Alain, good work as always. Mesmerizing intensity. The green at four corners works beautifully, as the horizontally extended comp. Yesterday came across another similarly attractive curly model. Take a look for ideas for new comps. Regards. ILM http://janinan.deviantart.com/art/Janina-Underwear-Editorial-121750955 

This is great: The blue eyes against the red hair and the wonderful light in the background.  It all works well.  My only nit is the lack of focus on the right shoulder versus the left which is either covered or in focus.  All in all, I love it.

.......... just can't get enough of this model. She is absolutely gorgeous. Love the crop..... the 4 corners of green is great. In difference to Bill, I love the wild look, controlled a little by her gentle expression.

An exciting model, hang onto her. Well done........... a great shoot all round.

Regards

Thanks a lot to all of you for your kind words!

Bill: you're right, but when I discovered this image on my computer after the shooting and all along the post-processing I never thought those wild hair on Natacha's face are a problem. It's a matter of taste I guess. But I like it this way, particularly because it suits perfectly with her personality.

Igor: thanks for your nice comment and for the link to Janina's work. Definitely a beautiful model and a very nice picture, but I think Natacha's hair look more natural. They are naturally red and curly, although I think she use some henna to add contrast.

Amitai: I'll try to make a better gestion of positioning/DOF next time. Thanks for the input!

Grayham: I hope Natacha will agree to shoot again soon. She's a great model for sure!

Alain, wonderful portrait and DOF! The special thing about it is the wild curly hair in contrast with the deep blue and calm eyes. Also the color composition adds to the strong expression of this image. Regards, Burak

A beautiful portrait with very nice lighting, Alain!

I like this shoot too, the color combination and the crop making her lovely eyes the start point in the shoot.

Great work.

Best regards Tore
