Black and white

thanks for any reaction on this beauty. jana

she is indeed a beauty, no doubt about that. nice expression, nice soft lighting on face, but her white hot left shoulder is completley blow-out with no detail, its distracting and competes with the main subject for the eyes atttention. other than that, very nice photo.

Matthew, thanks for your comment. The right lower white matches the black upper left in the composition, that is why the image is called black and white. I was going for a feeling, impression, not for a perfect portrait. I made this on purpose - from a total light to a total darkness. cheers jana

ahhh yes, now is see :) last thing, dont give up on justice Jana, who knows how many might follow you.then what?

keep shooting -your work is beautiful.

Excelente encuadre, perfecta luz, B/W. belleza de encuadre, saludos cordiales Jana.

black and white i like it, quite a lot, i do however think that the transition into black at the top (where her head curves into the darkness) could be slightly more like the white curveing into the bottom right corner (i.e. sharper, more defined, narrower, more tonaly inverted reflections of one another), light on her chin really brings the depth out nicely, (and i happen to be rather fond of ears sticking out slightly in this way:)!

Fantastico retrato en B/W. con una textura muy bonita. Saludos

So lovely and gentle light daer Jana and very emotive portrait :)

 

Love the soft gradually blending mixing of the white with black :)

 

Well done dear Jana.

Hi. Found you by clicking on the "Five" initiative.

This portrait is, in my opinion, the best in the series. The intentionally blown highlights on her shoulder is effective and adds to a sensual and subtle mood. I think that this, in itself, makes the shot worthy of attention and praise.
