Girl (Selected for International Diabetes Congress poster 2006)

She's such a cute girl that I have to take her right up close and

personal. So natural too.

Looove this shot .... ! you have a great eye for close ups !!

Great shot, Alec! Love the lighting and color. I'm saving up for the D200 and this just makes me want it more!

This is a WONDERFUL picture. A beautiful subject, and very well-lit. I think that I would bring the shadow level up more to bring out the rich, black hair and bring a bit more tone to the skin. Setting it to 19 seems nice to me, but that's just personal preference.

Alec, I like both versions of this image, but for some reason I like the colour version better, even if only slightly so. I like the lighting and particularly on her hair.

pure portrait alec.love it...

You are very good at capturing the charm of children. Here is yet another example.

Popeye, Seckin, Amar, Steve, Kim David, appreciate your coming here and sincerely value your kind comments.

Excelente Retrato, luz, color y un bello encuadre, un cordial saludo Alec.

One of the best portraits I've seen lately! And such a lovely girl! Love the rest of your portfolio also. Great work!

Lovely portrait Alec! Nice expression captured. Cute child, beautiful colors light and detail.

Whoa! The fine detail of the D200 really lives up to its name. Great reflection in her eyes and nice skin tone. I would darken it a touch to bring out her nice brown skin tone. Now, lets see if I can find a different, but similar shot of this girl somewhere in my harddisk. ha ha!

She has got a lovely face shape & array of hair. Beautiful.

Sweet portrait with nice cropping. The eyes is so attractive.I like the color one as I like the natural skin tone.

remarkable. beautiful expression dominating the entire frame. lovely indeed!

Thanks guys, I didn't post this after the trip and waited till now before doing it. It does look straightforward but as I see the original in the monitor I was struck by the clean smooth simplicity of the face and smile of this sweet little girl. So I decided to crop and highlight this and tweaked it with levels control.

 

I was quite amazed with the overall result and glad you find it pleasing as well. Sometimes, on very rare occasion a plain simple head shot works very well. Thank you all very much for the comments, I will visit and check out your sites if I had not done so alreaady. Cheers.

Alec, this is as good a portrait as I have ever seen! The skin-tone and exposure is perfect, Bravo!

very good lovely portrait!!!!

I had to come back to see it again ... great shot !!

Jim, Francesco much oblige. Popeye thank you for being one of the most sincere guys in PN. After having a fair share of phamtom raters it's so nice to hear fram a passionate photographer. Yes, this is one of my favorite 'unadulterated' image. Sometimes straight from the box can go head to head with the best rendered images. ^_^

 

great shot..

very original..

cheers!
