Lovely!

I like some of the little touches that make this a terrific photograph. Her expression is beautiful. The way she is holding her arms and hands create lovely lines. I especially like the way her hand brushes against her hair and how that continure the line to the other hand. The lighting is soft and very complimentary.

Beautiful shot John. Great composition and lighting. Congrats.

Beautifull body line,especialy done by arms,create an interesting image.Light on her face and soft shadow make this very pleasantly,regards and have a nice day.

Excellent photo of a beautiful model, but unusual for you, John, in that it's not an environmental image.

Thank you friends .. Gordon, that is my sitting room wall behind the model .. I guess some shots are taken away from furniture etc.,

Excellent!

Stunning and beautiful

an exceptional photo. you definitely deserve much better ratings on this.

Hi John, the more I see your work, the more I like your style, it is just great, 7/7 congrats //Salvador

Just ... lovely !! Perfect tones & light ... Best regards.

Thank you friends, glad you enjoyed this one.

 

ZSOLT: zsolt, thanks, but I almost never look at the ratings. Friends tend to give you too high ratings, and often other spiteful people give you 3's, like for the photo above, but it's the same persons usually and one often knows who they are (not meaning of course that sometimes a photo does not deserve a 3 haha). I consider the total "number of ratings" useful, in that they push up the visiblity of your picture in the weekly charts etc., but the actual figures are of no interest per se. I guess if you receive a really huge amount, then startistically, you can indeed get some idea of how a work is perceived, especially if you take account of the anonymous ratings.

Lovely. Nice soft textures yet maintaining detail. The model is beautiful and graceful making for a pleasing image.

Lovely work, great greyscale and light in this shoot. the sharpness is spot on too.

 

Best regards Tore

An especially pleasing gray-scale photo, John. I rather like the studio-look; it helps to isolate the important elements of the image and leaves nothing to distract.

Beautiful. What else can be said? To elaborate my thoughts... The pose, the lighting, the expression are all LOVELY. Her eyes "LOCK" on the viewer and her hands "GRASP". I prefer the lighting, that it is not harsh... That the gleam in her eye is not too bright. I enjoy that her form is well defined naturally by lighting that is just enough. Oh, that one might conjure what she could be thinking!

 

Magnificent Portrait! Very well done!

Thank you friends. There are times when the soft blend of natural light with just a little fill in flash, as in the case above, seems to give results that are pleasing to some. I appreciate knowing that, thank you.

beauty ... no comments

Beautiful everything

Another wonderful...half nude half portrait!

Great shot.

John,

This is my second consideration of this one.  I probably have not seen everything you produced in the last year but I vote for this being one of the best.  I have mentioned before that I consider composition from the standpoint of where my viewing eyes go.  If I record their travel here, I immediately look at those outstanding eyes, move to her hair and sweep down the s-curve of hair and hand, sweep down the highlighted hair and reverse directions at the elbow, moving upward bending at the shoulder, again discover the hands but now move backward up and down the other elbow to the hair, trace the contour of the breast and almost drop out at the navel, but am lured back to the eyes.  I consider the longer my eyes seek out the lines, contours and details of the picture the more successful the composition of the picture.  You kept me here a long enjoyable time.

Regards,

Jerry

What an interesting analysis, thank you Jerry.
