I took a fashion workshop, mostly to learn about lighting. They hired models, and I'll

be posting some of my images of them over the next few days.

Christal,

A beautiful model and beautiful work.  Her eyes are stunning.  BRAVO!

I like model. Not sure about b/w. And I dislike treatment on the face (in partucalar on the forehead.

Regards,

Serge

nice portrait picture !

Lovely sharp image and great expression / eye contact.  One thing bothers me though, and of course you may have done it deliberately and for a reason, but the detail in her hair looks very hazy at the front, and becomes sharper near the back of her head which doesn't look natural to me. Of course I'm a total novice at portraits so I'm here to learn.

Best Regards

She was a lovely girl rather new to modeling.  I think she had as much fun as I did.  Thanks!

Now that you mention it, I see what you mean.  I'll try to fix that.  Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to comment!  

Good remarks, Alf.  Actually, I'm VERY new at portraiture myself.  Therefore, while processing these I was trying all kinds of things.  I had never used presets before, but I was experimenting with them and this was the result.  I rather liked it because it made her look innocent and child-like (to me, anyway).  But I can certainly go back and get a more natural presentation.  As always, I appreciate your input!

Now you come to mention it, her face does seem to exude a childish innocence, so in that respect it has worked.  I'm now curious to see if that same innocence remains without the blurry bits.

Cheers Christal

Alf
