Fashion 'n' Style

This was taken using available light outdoors. What do you think of it?

PS (no pun intended!) I desaturated it in Photoshop...

It's great how you elaborated the model's skin to get this beautiful "velvet effect".

Splendid indeed.

 

Regards, Marco

Very nice gesture of the model in the frame Mark A. Good shallow DOF. nice soft light that illuminates her well. Pnina

Wow! It's a great shot that you made here, Mark. I'm sure the model was deeply flattered from your picture. Well done my friend! Thierry

well, i schould write more than perfect, but my bad english...

 

So: just perfect,

;)))

...This is an incredible photograph Mark. My congratulations. You can be justly proud of this one. Near perfection. Regards, Kelvin.

I am truly overwhelmed... thank you, one and all

She looks a little uncertain, but i like the way you worked with lighting and colours.

 

Its a bit strange though to have a light triangle on the top left, but I guess you had no choice, perhaps. Overall quite nice :)

Hey ViP. Thanks for your comment. This was her first shoot, and indeed one of the first photots on the shoot, so she was actually a tad undcertain. As for the 'light triangle,' it was actually the shadow of a building. This was shot outdoors against a light-coloured wall. I had no control over the shadow unfortunately :)

Mark

very well taken i love the split in the background.........top work

very solid. you are definitly getting better.

Wow Mark! I love the way the light's demarcation line leads the eye right to the photo's point of focus, her face. You're on your way!

 

The Photoshop "velvet" treatment is good - I have no idea how to do that, and think you did it with just enough subtlety.

 

What is your workflow for this?

 

Snow and ice here in New York!

Classy shot, Mark. I like the brown tones and the saturation is perfect. Cheers!

Thanks guys :) Much appreciated! Chris, I emailed you my workflow on this image.

Cheers, Mark

Beautiful colours and pose. I like the look which to me is enquiring rather than uncertain and works well. The lighting is good and the diagonal shadow works well.

Hey mark how did you get the "velvet" treatment? Its cool.
