Wow. Terrific portrait Ken.

Hi Ken, I like the soft( shallow) yellow bg,It accentuate her beautiful face.good skin tones, and well composed. Pnina

Beautiful model, stunning eyes - GR8 photo!

Beautiful soft portrait of a beautiful woman!

Ken, she's a really beautiful model. I like the softness of the image, it really does it justice. My only gripe (and this counts for all 3 pics is the background - I don't think it suits her femininity.

 

Warm regards.

I somewhat agree with you. They are leaded windows in an empty mansion. There are others which are not posted

Lovely portrait of this woman. Nice light! I am sure she will like it.

Ken. Lovely low light and the composition is very good.

...The slight overexposure gives it a dreamy quality that I really like. Sincerely, Kelvin.

Hey Ken, you gave what we want. Thanks. This gal is a BEAUTY & u captured her the way she needs to. Kiss 4 her & God Bless you.

I have viewed this image before; I just want to comment on it now. Having a gorgeous models helps, but you did a lot of things right here.

 

One thing is how you broke a rule and got away with it. That is, you have a mixed key, both light and dark values, in the foreground and background. Usually this is enough to destroy a composition by itself. However, you carried it off very well, probably due to the very strong diagonal.

 

Even the geometrics of the window work for you here. The background wouldn't contribute as well as it does without the verticals on the horizonal right at eye level. That is another important component -- the eye level bar. Above or below the eye it would ruin the flow of the image.

 

The pose is simple, yet the bare shoulder rounded towards the camera emphasizes her femininity. And the most important quality of light here is that it is short light. You avoided the temptation of moving to the left and shooting into the right side of her face.

 

The soft focus works very well. I can almost complain that the contrast may be a bit flat, but I would have to see it bumped up and compared before I could say for sure. Soft focus naturally tends to reduce contrast.

 

I wonder what it would look like with a subtle frame?

 

Keep up the good work, Ken.

 

 

Valued input on both. Thank you

Very nice Ken! Wonderful light, angle, composition and model! I think that the white highlight is distracting.Thank you for your comments.

I agree with Steve - this is better composition and light.

Nice composition and good use of window light.

Simply a great use of light!!! Marvelous

Gorgeus girl, wonderful portrait...! Well done.

Beautiful, I normally not to fund of the glamour softening but it works great on this one. Lovely looking model too.

 

Cheers Tore

What Steve said. If only I'd noticed even a quarter of what he said... I just like the model and the composition. Great shot.

Sultry, sexy portrait! excellent use of light and selective sharpness

Absolutely beautiful portrait. Very classic. I really like the lighting and color, both subdued and appealing.

I love the soft colours of this image... excelent work, beautiful model! Congratulation and best regards, Chris
