Nice one Tore,I would prefer if the the background wasn't so busy.      John

I like the light on the model,she looks so elegant and large view shows better this,regards.

Really beautiful work with very nice lighting, Tore!

With best regards,

Superb Tore, well beyond the pose and beautiful subject, the colouring, texture, balance with the tree stump, as well as all the usual technical proficiency. This is simply wonderful work, bravo. 

Background is a bit busy , but the model is beautiful . The pose works well and the large view is well worth seeing ! Excellent as usual . Bill

Every image by you makes me happy, my dear friend!

Even though the background may seem a bit busy for some, this beautiful model is so stunning, she immediately draws your eye from the background. Lovely skin tones; her outfit and  lovely brown tresses are 'kissed' with coppery highlights that go very well with the 'autumn theme'.

Very nice work Torre.

Kindest regards, Gail 

So sharp and clear. The background doesn't bother me, my eyes go to the model.

Hi Tore,

I love the beautiful use of light and the variety of textures that you've highlighted in the photo. I also like how you use the lines of her arm and hair to guide one back to her face. On the model's right side, the pretty highlights on her hair gets cut off a bit abruptly by the shadow created by her upper arm. The sudden change caught my eye, but at the same time, that shadow helps make her face (which is so exquisitely lit!) stand out even more. I really enjoy and learn a lot from your photos!

Best, Brian

Not sure how you did it, but the model stands out so well in this image.  You would think with the colors being so close to the background she would blend in, but she really jumps out of the image.  Great piece of work my friend.  BTW, the hair looks great.  Best regards...Brent

Thank you all for your comments, The setup looks like this, one flash on her with a beauty dish the light from the sun hit her from the side. If it have not been so windy I would have put up a sun swatter to diffuse the sun hitting her.

The background is ~1/2 stop under the light on her and I used the lens on 121mm to get some extra separation from the background.

Best regards Tore

Outstanding light and tones. I especially love the composition and the natural beauty of the model. Great work!

Regards,

Alain
