natural lighting after sunset resulted in this grainy yet soft

effect... I think it adds to the overall antiquated effect...

Excellent use of grain. The open shadows and light are well done and compliment the costume. There does seem to be a sortof vertical banding of light and dark, do not know just what that is...

Regards.

Exquisite b/w portrait, Frederick. The expression, pose and attire of the lovely girl are unique. High quality image. Best regards

Hi Craig and David...

 

I really appreciate your observations....

 

and the vertical banding you may be seeing? Any chance it's the trees in the background? At any rate, I thank you both for taking time to look and "see" this image...

Fred

Very artistic and unusual!...Ciaomau!

Stunning. Her connection with the viewer is almost startling, and the quality of the light is exquisite.
