Miss Brasil 001

Second posting of a fotoshoot whe did last saturday 25-90-2004. Some

experiments with one and/or two lightsources. Your comments and/or

critiques will be very much appreciated.

I'd consider cropping off a bit on the right to make the composition less centered. I think that would work well as the eye travels from right to left.

very nice again! 7/7

Well two wonderfull ladies here. Dominique Dodge-Wan and Tiina Haasma. Thanks so much for your nice and constructive comments!! kisses from Holland...

I am sorry for not leaving a comment. I do not like leaving comments for I am not a professional yet. That is why I am here to learn and improve on what I love, taking pictures. I rate only by my opinion. Only the eye is the beholder.

 

I do like this picture and the subject is very pretty. I just feel it is a little dark. It hides her beauty. I can say some shadow makes it mysterious. But I think it was too much shadow with the background being black also. Like Scarlett 01, which I like a lot better. But it is only my opinion. I will say it does look alot better than my photos.

 

Thanks so much for critique! The pic is intentionally dark I have to say. It was/is to see how one lightsource works. And me, myself and I .. well and the models, are pretty content with the result. Actually the pics came out better as expected.

I thought that I had already rated this....damn my failing mind and eyes!

I'm sure you know from the stuff that I shoot that this is my favorite type of light.

You've got one up on me though...your focus is nice and tight. I love the low light images, but my (lack of)focus is becoming an issue.

Beautiful portrait, Nils.

Thanks so much Dana and Tiffany. And Tiffany .. well .. you already got a very good advise I see, first turn up the light .. focus and ... But is it not also a little movement-outoffocus? tripods are miraculous well to solve this problem. I never shoot such portraits without one.

regards, Nils A.

Dana Goad gave this a 4/5? Holy cow.

I suggest you have a look at this before you take her rating too seriously:
