Curls and then some!

???????

the curly hair makes a good b/w image...nicely done...the background gives me a little problem.

Tony, the idea behind whiting out the background is to focus the viewer on what I want them to see without any distraction.

 

I love your high key

Hair!!!!very good and original!!!

at which picture you told a little about your technique ? :-))

CR: Good to know the original - it works according to your intention ... REgards

Terrific shot. Awesome technique. The image just works. The details are almost surreal. I mean, just look at that elbow. Perfect.

Howard- Don't know how you do it, but you consistently turn them out. Beautifully manipulated. I love her stance and then the curls, beautiful! Super job!

Definitely the post-processing improved the shot immensely. I don't know why, but this seems familiar to me. Had you posted it before or something similar?

Thank you all for the feedback.

 

And, yes Kim I did post the original in color last summer. I deleted the image when I posted this version. The color version was not highly regarded anyway.

Very cute and well done Howard, even if you can't see her face, her hair is adorable. A Shirley Temple for today.:)))

There's a really nice 'casualness' about this shot. It's a bit different for you Howard (i.e.: not showing the face), but works nonetheless.

 

Kind regards.

Howard, I do remember the original color posting from last year. Your highkey technique completely transformed this into an intriquing visual. It's time for you to create a PS plug-in for mass distribution. ^_^

Howard, I don't remember the other version, but that is an unusual one, the hair, the pose of the hand. seeing the original, you realy do wonders with your highkey technic. Pnina

this is nice ! Beautiful creation ..

I like this very much. The contrasts are very beautiful and her poise is so wonderful. The textures and patterns add to this photograph. In these tones they are not prominent which leads me to your subject. Excellent photograph and an excellent composition !

I like the composition,crop and your high-key technique.

The curls are amazing!! Great capture, Howard!
