Nice Pose n very good shot horward, like the colors too.

 

Regards(still Life).

Nice idea, high lights seem to be blown out though.

I like the angle of the shot. Colors are good with a nice background. My only nit is that the focus seems to be a little sharper on the sweater sleeve and foreground hair than on her face. Other than that, nice one!

The angle feels very child-like, evoking repose and whimsy at once. Nice shot!

Creativity in portraiture is hard to come by, and this is a more original one. More sharpness & highlight detail would be great, but then again being a playful pose, it's the spontaneous glimpse that counts, IMO. I like it. ^_^

I like this portrait. Capture of beautiful natural expression.

I sharpened the image and changed the frame. Thanks for the input.

I didn't see it before you sharpened, it looks fine to me. I love the whimsical pose. Very, very creative. Nice job!

I can definitely tell that you sharpened her face and I think it's an improvement.

I like this, too, Howard - nice expression and different angle.

Different angle, nice colors, your portraits are always giving some of the Character photographed. Don't pay attention to the low raters Howard, your creating values are not going to be affected by them. Pnina

Thanks Pnina.

Funny potrait, maybe a bit to sharp. (I have seen some are thinking different, but for a young girls face its getting to unreal, softness is gone. It is not a formal but a content question)

 

Happy 2005, Mike

Hello Paul?

and sweet

.

A beautiful portrait. She's a cutie!!

Fairly trivial, but the angle and pose seem a bit "stilted"? Perhaps a little too extreme of an angle for your subject? Discovered this little gem, an exception to most of what I have been seeing of your work on this site. When looking at most of your portraits, I see that you are often times able to capture that "slice of life" that seems so hard-fought and illusive to capture. I feel like this piece is a little more superficial, that you're not really telling us a lot more about this young lady. And that's okay, but I don't find this piece contains the depth and illumination that much of your work illustrates.

Howard it seems that I am old enough to make a mistake, sorry for calling you Paul. Yours,

Mike
