Terrie

She looks like a lively and fun person about to do something mischievous. Good photo.

Thanks. She is a lively and fun woman. I have taken many photos of her over several years, and this is by far her least favorite. But I think this reveals her personality better than any of the others. I'm sometimes thankful that I don't always have to please the subject.

This is a wonderful portrait enhanced by the dark eyes surrounded by a generally pale exposure. You also caught a great expression. Nice work. I would love to know the circumstances of the shot.

Thank you Lawrence. We had lunch in a local park and I took a few shots of her afterwards. I think our long friendship gives her a comfort level with me that shows in some of her pictures.

Thanks for viewing. This may help me learn how taste in photography

has changed in the past several years.

 

Comments are always good, even from those who don't like the picture

for whatever reason.

I like this because its real.Thats what makes it standout.I think she looks beautiful.You captured alot of personality too .She seems like she is having fun.She has a natural playful looking expression.Great picture!

This is an unusual and arresting shot. Have you considered submitting it to one of the stock services? That expression would make a great ad for something.

Thank you both. Charlie, I hadn't thought of that. But I doubt she would sign a release - she hates this picture.

She is just too adorable, but I can see why she would hate it. Women do not like to be reminded of their laugh lines even if they do capture what we love about them the most. You probably could soften it a little to please her, the lines would remain but the grain would become more velvety and pleasing.

Thanks for looking and commenting. I'm grateful. I have taken other photos of Terrie that she does like. So I may leave this one alone.
