What's on TV tonight.....

After a strenuous day I found my granddaughter asleep above the TV-

Magazine. At least to me a sweet scene under the lamplight above our

kitchentable.

 

I'll appreciate your constructive critiques and advices because I'm

not very experienced in making portraits.

 

Thank you, Ada:)

I have seen many amatuer sleeping shots. But this is very professionally done. It is a statement of the busy society.

Slaapverwekkend mooi!

Geweldige in beeld geplaatst en prachtige kleurstelling.

Sid, I'm very grateful to you. You made me a great compliment with your remark about the statement. We life in a hectic world in which even children can get a burn-out. Luckily my granddaughter isn't one of them. She still has time to play and make fun.

 

Wim, your comment is great. You know, I'm always very curious to hear your opinion about my attempts to make good shots. But now it's a portrait, which is your speciality, I'm very happy with your appreciation and kind words.

Great capture!

1.6 seconds hand held - you have steady hands, Ada!

 

The camera angle is very nice, revealing the care free life of a tired teen after a long day. I do wonder how the original colors appear, though.

Nice you drop by. It's sounds great to me that you like the portait. Thank you very much, Cheers, Ada:)

I've steady hands yes:) But this time I needed a little help from my elbows. Placed them on the table and it worked well.

 

I'm pretty content with the result and with your opinion Michael. Your B&W is very nice too. Each version has it's own charmes I think. I'm personally not a great fan of black and white shots but portraits is a different story.

I show you the original picture to compare. I warn you, it looks really awful because of the colours.

 

Ada, nicely captured Flore...good portrait.In seeing the original , your post processing enhanced it a lot. Pnina

Erg mooi. juiste uitsnede, prachtige kleur en belichting. Mond tikje te rood? Maar misschien ook niet. Andere kleurbewerkingen die ik zag waren allemaal net iets minder dan deze. Wat kan ik je nog aan tips geven? Geen. Ik moet bij jou in de leer.

Ah Pnina, that's a great compliment. I'm really very glad with your opinion. I was already in doubt about the portrait when I saw the law ratings which came in, but I have not any doubt about your comment. Thanks again dear Pnina, Warm regards, Ada:)

Leuk je commentaar te horen. Wat de kleur betreft, die van haar lippen zijn bij mij heel zacht rood-roze, maar dat is per beeldscherm heel verschillend. Wij hebben er hier meerder staan in huis en op elk scherm komen de kleuren weer anders uit de verf. Ik denk dat dat ook vaak de grote verschillen in waardering van een foto tot gevolg heeft. Kijk maar eens naar al die vieren die ik gekregen heb.

 

Maar om even op iets anders terug te komen, het lijkt me helemaal te gek om jou in de leer te hebben, Bram. Weet niet of er dan nog veel van foto's bewerken terecht zal komen. LOL Het zal eerder muziek maken en terrasjes pikken worden. Maar 'As te gij moar leut het', zeggen ze hier in Brabant:0).

 

Groetjes, Ada:)

 

 

I like a lot your toned version! And especially the two little soft pink parts. It gives to the whole a great effect. I can see that there isn't only in France that TV programs are boring : ))

Because I'm really not a master in portrait and I find yours really great, I can't critique anything : ) I like it!

I see what you mean, Ada. White Balance might have helped a bit.

Hi Yann, it's great you like the portrait. When I was busy in PS with this picture it reminded me suddenly of a portrait you've made of your son. That one with the slice of bread in his hand. I've searched in your portfolio to watch that shot again and it's really wonderful. In the meantime I have also picked up an idea for my frame:)

 

Speaking about boring TV-programs, particular in the summertime it's bad. But since I'm on PN I look very seldom TV and the TV-magazin goes regular unread to the old papers.

 

My granddaughter was actually searching for an evening program she could watch after she had her bath, which she clear needed after she had played outside the whole day long:))) When I came back from upstairs where I was busy to prepair the bath for her I found her like this. I bet such situations are recognazible for you:)

 

I can't thank you for your critique Yann;-), but I like to say that I liked it very much to hear your fantastic comment:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Michael, in the hurry of that moment I have forgotten to check that. Thanks for reminding me. Will do that the next time, Cheers, Ada:)

Perfect choice for tonality. Lovely portrait.

Thank you for your kind words F. I appreciate them very much.

I'm really honoured you kept one of my shots in mind! : ) Of course, no more critique about your frame ; ))

;)

Heel mooie plaat en uit het leven gegrepen.

Hoi Hans, mooie reactie van je. Dank je wel! Ada:)

Gewoon mooi, mag dat ook gezegd worden, ISO 100, 1.6 sec,f 4.5 vind ik niet interessant, maar dat snap je zo ondertussen wel bij mij.

 

En als Bram bij jou in de leer komt, dan pik ik graag een fijn biertje mee, ik hou wel van feestjes, en haar lippen zijn op mijn beeldscherm mooi zachtrose.

 

TV, ja nou hebben zo ook nog eens Talpa erbij, waar moet dat heen...maar da's weer een ander verhaal

 

Gezellig meid, kom erbij. We laten de technische details voor wat ze zijn en de TV blijft uit.

 

Waar zullen we afspreken? Het Vrijthof? Of zoeken we een ergens een gezellig klein dorpscafeetje op?

 

Ik verheug me er al op om jullie in het echt te zien.

 

Groetjes, Ada:)

 

 

 

Well done Ada. I like the original version best but they are all great. The composition is excellent as is the exposer. What an angel :) Cheers Nova ~
