Intense...

Very nice composition and moment.

Great face by the way.

The skin texture seems over worked in PS otherwise it could've been a great image.

Hi Misha. I had just forgotten to tone down the grain before I uploaded. The one you see now is the natural version. I've replaced the over-PS'ed one.

Cheers!

A simple conversion to B&W from a scan of the neg. Very little else,

apart from removing some dust in PS. What do you make of it? Please

comment. Thanks :)

very nice shot but the object in the background is distracting

Hi Massimo! Thanks for commenting :)

The object you have mentioned is a speaker. I took this photo at the musician's video shoot and I felt that this speaker would actually add interest and help tell the story better... But I've also tried out your suggestion here.

Interesting photo Mark. I like the sharpness of her face against the background. Well done.

Hi Bond :) Thank you for the kind compliment. Much appreciated!

What a classical profile by a truly accomplished photographer.

 

Mark, I like this very much. Thank you!

Lannie, I'm honoured, humbled and elated :) Thank you for stopping by...

Mark, this one stood out for me. I like the profile shot here a lot. I also think the speaker fits into the "Musicality" context which is I assume the reason you have it there. I do like the version without it as well, because the speaker does provide a distraction, although contextualized.

Mark, I like that one very much , especially without the speaker.. very strong portrait, good light well done in B/W.Pnina

Nice pose and composition in this...
