The Woman

Great Shot! I suspect I could spend days printing this neg in different ways. Since it's TCN it'd be bullet proof. Post any other variations of the print you may have.

The background was done on PS as high Key effect. It is my first

attempt to get this kind of photograph and would like to know what is

your opinion and suggestions.

Thank you.

A bit overexposed but a nice portrait of your wife. can be corrected in PS.

Great cropping, very nice pose, beautiful wife, lucky man:) I actually like the fact that it is a bit overexposed, it gives a bit of an edge. Keep up the good work.

Good pose. I'd try to burn in more detail to separate the neck and shoulder.

i too would try to burn the shoulder to get more definition. also, her right cheek is too overexposed to contrast with the background.

 

it's a little distracting that her hair goes off the image on the right and top. just nit-picking.

 

interesting pose by your wife!

Pretty impressive results with the sigma..

no one noticed how odd her eyebrows are.... one low, one high... is it the effect of her hair over one eye? It makes the eyes appear somewhat skewed. the eyes always tell a story... what is the story?

The comunication which is to happen between a picture and a viewer nned to elements to make it work . One is the picture to tell anything , two is the viewer to recive it ..What would ake you say that this picture is more then a portrait of my wife.? Why would you try to read a story on the image which has the only job to portray someone...I find the mag of such a portraits the simpliest in the world to pick up ..no hiden traps..However as I said - 2 elements...one sendind the other receiving..If only one of them fails the comunication will not happen ..form my point of view so far the image was doing exactly what it was meant to do ..regards. pk

Superbly executed. I love the idea of high key background. It make you focus on shadow areas of the potraits (the eyes, the hair, the lips).
