Unaware, 2 :)

Hi all! I'd really appreciate feedback on this in terms of comments.

This was her first shoot with me...

You captured her sweetness without her looking at the camera. Nice lighting smooth and rich and the shallow depth of focus puts my eye right on her beautiful face.

Well done.

Lovely capture Mark. Good blur for the background. I wonder if a crop at the top wouldn't do this a bit of justice. Also I decided to convert to black and white for the hell of it.

Hi guys! I'm delighted that you stopped by :) Amar, thanks for the suggestion. Your B&W looks gorgeous. Good crop, too!

Thank you all...

Aaaah... See what you can do without Photoshop!! How much your work has improved! This is a beautiful spontaneous portrait that the two of you should be proud of. It works well in colour too but the crop suggested by Amar makes her more the central point. Bravo!

Mon amie, thank you for popping in! I know I can always count on you to comment honestly and constructively :) Merci beaucoup, rafiki

Very good portrait for your 1st shoot with her. You have captured her natural & sunny smile. The crop B/W version looks very good too as it draws our attention straight to the model's face.

Cherlyn, Andrija, thank you both for commenting. Thank you all. This is indeed one of my favourite portraits. I am honoured. Amar, the B&W is slowly taking over as being my more favourite of the two versions ;)

I am particularly happy with the DOF achieved here, considering my lens was probably at about f/4, 70mm.

Lovely work, Beautiful model, it's also very good considering the colors.

 

best regards Arthur

Exellent portrait Mark.

Mark A. join the others ! very nice model and smile, good portrait, DOF and colors, I like as well the B/W and a bit of crop in the upper part, but I like your original very much. Pnina

Have not heard from you for a while. Must be busy with all the photography. I love this portrait shot. Lovely and natural expression. Good dof in the background and great exposure. Cheers!

Thank you both very much for stopping by :)

Work has been unbelievably busy, plus the internet connection went awry a few days ago in the office, and it's not back to normal yet.

Cheers and God bless,

Mark :]
