This is Sara, changed to black and white and brought out the color of her eye. This is a 2nd

post didn't realize how much color noise was in her eye's until I posted it. cleaned it up a bit.

Thanks for looking.

Sorry i'm picky but the focus seems to be slightly in front of her eye but nonetheless I love the green against the greys and blacks.

On the artistic side: The composition and handling here are wonderful. I love the placement of the whiskers, and the green of her eye.

 

On the technical side, you don't give any tech data. What f-stop did you use? You probably needed something like f22 to keep the eye and whiskers both sharp. The trouble with macros (and closeups) is the closer you get, the smaller dof. This in turn would extend the exposure time, and the chance that Sarah would move.

 

I like this a lot. :) Nicely done.

The f stop given the light of the moment wasn't more than f 5.6 and 100 speed film. I used the unsharp mask function to help. and brought out some of the shadows. I tried to use the "range finder" part of the camera on her eye to line things up as best I could.

 

Thanks Deb, will try to be more aware of that in the future.
