Untitled

Superb pose, perfect equilibrium, beautiful model! I especially like the area around the model's head: hair, expression and also the subtle red light on the background. But how do you get such a "chaotic" red light shape? This question is maybe naive. I did a few studio shots in the past but I'm rather into landscapes now. I have some gear to concentrate the light on a specific area of the background, but of course it appears either round or more or less oval.

Something I would clone out: the small red wound (?) around her internal right malleolus. But that's a matter of taste of course.

Best regards,

Alain

Hi Alain,

Thank you very much for your visit and comments. Of course you are correct with cropping a scratch off. It is distracting, so is the piece of silk thread on her arm. I made a correction and replaced the image. I sometimes use Photoshop to add background effects. In this case it was edited sunset image taken after sun disappeared behind horizon.

Works well using layers and best fit blending mode.

Yes! Her hair makes this image. It is so full of life. I must also commend the model on her toes. I have to say the pose looks a little painful but it is nonetheless beautiful
