You're better in nudes ;)

Thanks for sharing John !

.. and yet my friend, my most looked at portfolio on PN, by far, is the one on portraits ... : -)

In "top portfolios"  .. see ALL / ALL TME / FOLDER VIEWS

Florin, in looking up the reference, I forgot to thank you for passing by ..

Well, I'll be darned, John.  You did this in a square format and did it very well.  I tried to crop this to a vertical and found that I would have to cut off all of that beautiful hair.  Ignore those comments that you do best at nudes - variety is good for the creative spirit.

Simple and beautiful

I like his pose and looks

No harm done, John !

;)

Graceful, elegant and well balanced portrait. One of your best. Regards.

this is really excellent portrait! wonderful light and detail, i love the pose too and the crop 7!

The technical quality isn't exactly suitable for advertising the equipment used John! I must conclude that there was a lot of cropping, I have no other explanation. I know that the clearest and finest complexion on first glance surprise you with the need of retouching, but the retouching may be done so that it wouldn't be noticeable! And you certainly haven't retouched the throat and it also lacks details! Conclusion as I said: Lots of cropping!

WOW! Really lovely.

Cheers.

Thank you friends. Certainly it is a tight crop, but the sharpness of the eyes, mouth and hair possibly allow for it.

You are welcome to see the fuller frame which I do not find as attractive, but everyone may have their own opinion of course. Thank you all for passing by and giving your opinions.

Again, its the eyes.

Thanks Jim, I moved in for the eyes essentially ..  the tone is a little gray overall, the light is low on my balcony sometimes 

Great picture !!!

John, there is a dreamy, intimate, contemplative look to this portrait that is just gorgeous. It's easy to see why your portrait portfolio gets a lot of attention.

Beautiful portrait in my book

All my best,  Bill

Thanks Bill .. I guess all identify with different things.  Best wishes, John

Me gusta la suavidad del blanco y negro.

lovely perfect portrait

Ciao John, I'm again with you and your wonderful work!

Outstanding

She seems to love the camera, you love to take photos. And it can be seen.

I like the tight crop. And I love the composition. Perfect and simple. I also love the pose - the hand brings tenderness and softness to this one. And I like her calmness and ease. And she is also stunningly beautiful.

I would not change a single thing! I like it just as it is.
