In light of Jim Phelps' recent uploads I thought I'd revisit this one of

Lydia.

I am trying to see the connection between this and Jim Phelps but I am having trouble connecting them. It doesn't really matter as I like the image.

Excelente imagen en B/W,  bella luz y encuadre, Saludos Mark.

David - Jim's latest uploads are of the same model. Although his were quite different we both had deep shadows showing her unique form. I am pleased you like this one,

Julio - Gracias! That is about all of my Spanish. I appreciate the comment.

I generally like the tonal range and the way the light falls off the model. One area that I notice though is that the other window openings behind the model have the same tonal value as her skin on the lower arm. This gives less separation from the background.  I hope you do not mind the comment as I offer it only as a suggestion and an area you might investigate. As I said, I really do like the rest of the photo.

Allan - Thank you for the terrific feedback. I always appreciate when someone takes their time to help make my work better.

Yes, that one area does merge in this processed scan from the negative. I hope to print it soon and will see how it works out then.

I realised it was the same model too late to edit my comment.

Thanks for making it clear!
