my favourite photos A Head Shot (Best View Larger)

What do you think. Works for you? Appreciate your ratings and

comments but please leave a rationale if you rate low. We are all

here to learn.

Very fine skin tone, maybe I'd go for a tighter crop or more close-up, those line on the left are a bit of distraction. Still, a great piece of work - and, last but not least, a fantastic model!

Who would dare rate such a lovely photograph low? Not I, sir!!! Not I!!!

 

Very beautifuly taken...but you had help, she's very pretty!

Viewed in the smaller size it's good, viewed larger it's stunning. You are indeed fortunate to have such a willing model in the family. Great work.

Maciej, Pedro, Julio, Biplab appreciate your kind comments. Larry thanks for your kind encouragement.

 

Craig, she's in a stage where they are finding out their own individualism. I'm just glad she's still down to earth. I'm sure Jaslyn appreciates your kind comment. Thanks.

Once again, very nice lighting. A studio quality photo. By the way, check out my latest model in sari. Cheers!

Martin, Ali, John, Andrew, appreciate your kind comments. Sircar, thanks for the nice endorsement.

it works just fine, everything.

Fine soft light, great detail and skin tone, well taken Alec.

Charming expression Alec.

What's not to like about this! OK, maybe I'd crop a little off the left side; her right shoulder tends to draw the eye towards that corner just a bit. The soft lighting is nice. You always seem to capture a great expressions in your portraits, which is an art in itself.

 

I see you are using the 50mm quite a bit in this type of shot. Any reason you prefer this to the 105?

Klaus, Javed, Amar appreciate your kind comments.

Steve I use 50mm lens which is equivqalent to 70-80mm with the 1.6 factor. With my 80-105mm lens I might be too far to have rapport with the subject. From my experience 50mm is great for studio model shoot but for outdoors 85mm and above is definitely better because of the richer bokeh.

Thanks for the info.

Great, great! Superb lighting. Good, although a bit, hmm, un-natural (?) skin tones. A bit "too perfect". Great expression she has, a beginning of a smile. Good background. Very, but verygood DOF. Bravo!

 

Many thanks for following my work,

A beautiful capture of a princess.
