Beautiful

Lovely shot of a lovely model!

A proud model well photographed. I'd like a little more highlight or a bit of back light on the hair so that it doesn't disappear quiet so much into the back ground.

Excellent portrait,natural color,compliments to you and model.

A very pretty girl, excellent use of lighting and composition. Love the expression and eye contact. Congrats.

Hi Andrew:

I would have called this photo 'intense'. Her gaze seems to go right through me.

I like the square aspect and her position in it. Space has power (to me). Great photo.

Regards, John

John's observation about her gaze is very relevant. Her look is very hard suggesting anger or unhappiness. She is very beautiful and you have captured her wonderfully.

John and David,

She was very happy with the session and totally relaxed. I asked her to look angry and she did, but she also looked very beautiful at this moment and this is why I like this picture very much.

Andrew,

On photo right there is slight separation of hair from background; on picture left the two completely blend together.  I suggest more hair accent light or changing the background or doing post processing work to fix the problem.

As far as her facial expression goes, her intense stare completely overcomes any beauty and makes her look a hatefull woman.  Maybe you tried for that look, but if so, clue us in by giving it a suitable title like "Hatred" or "Feeling Contempt."

good stuff

Jerry,

What monitor do you use? Is it calibrated and how?  On my monitor hair looks fine. There is a very clear outline both on her hair and arm created by special light positioning.  I agree it could be a bit brighter on the left.

In my opinion she looks beautiful and just a bit intense, nothing more.

Like I sad before, beauty is in the eyes of the the beholder.

Regards,

Andrew

Wonderful and very expressive image.

Her eyes draw me into the picture: emotional, self-assured, unapproachable: very beautiful... tamarah

I love how confident and unselfconscious the model is.  You have done well in capturing her beauty.

Wonderful!!!
