Good portrait. Good use of the natural light.

Hi Clemson,

The good: the image. What a nice start to another day !

Now, for me, (it is not bad) , I miss the details of what lens and settings you used for this natural lighting shot.

Best Regards,  Mike

Great lighting and composition! Beautiful lady, not to forget!

Best regards Clemson!

I like this photograph very much.  But the reason I like may shock the artist and some viewers.

This is a natural beauty and the light is natural as well.  But the pose is not "natural."  It is a classical formal pose, hard and solid as bronze.  What I find absolutely delightful is this classical beauty is sitting on a plain middle class 21st century couch.  This is a wonderful collision of classical formalism (the pose) and contemporary informalism (the couch).  

I don't know what the original intension was  but the result is terrific.

I wish I had as much insight as you have or what you give me credit for! I never thought about it in your terms, but I love your thought. When I shoot, I give some minor direction to the models and let them know when something is not working or if something is working very well. In this case, I noticed the colors and asked her to sit a bit on the front edge of the couch. She is fairly new to modeling, but has a very high body confidence due to being an athlete. This is all her personality coming out. I will post some other images of her as I get time to complete them. Thank you so much for your comments.

Sorry about that. Here are the specs:

Nikon 105mm/f2.0

f/2.5

1/160s

iso 500

spot meter

no flash

Thanks for looking and giving me your feedback.

Hi Clemson,

I appreciate your sharing the details with me.

I have an extensive collection of lens worldwide. My largest collection is of Nikkors. I lab test all the lens and use them on a rotational basis.

However, whenever  I obtain the details from any PN image posted, I can better correlate the real lab performance levels with those obtained in the real world. As a result, my data base for optics is larger than my lens collections combined !

By the way, your setting of F/2.5 maximizes the performance capability of the very fine 105 Nikkor lens.

Best Regards, Mike

Glad to be of help (I hope) , Clemson. I think this model will be great to work with.

Beautiful Light!

Tastefully erotic.
