A closer look

Otra belleza de rettrato, gran encuadre, perfecta luz y color, y excelente composicion, saludos cordiales Alec.

As always she looks stunning. But there is something more powerful than usual in her expression.

Stunning model. I love the light background.

Really beautiful work, Alec!

Great Alec! As always!

Amar as usual you're very observant. Julio, Ruud, Paula, Massimo thanks for coming and teh kind comments.

Soft lighting, smooth skin tones, nice background & incredible details, another gorgeous capture, Alec!!! Best regards.

Sho, quite impressive! What a personality, you managed to capture it so delicately. Excellent portrait, Alec!

Sorry, but I find this a very standard and a bit

dull studio shot of a nice model. I can not understand

why it is rated well over 6 in aesthetics. It is not

a bad photo, but it is so standard and vanilla,

that the scale in the ratings is just amazing. Yes,

it is taken with a very big and very expensive camera,

but still the photo is not that incredible. Can you

please shed some light to this?

Richard, ViP thanks for commenting.

 

Olli, I see you have a lot of portraits in your portfolio too. Perhaps others can check out yours while they look at mine and give you their views since the comments here are from them. Or are you asking me to read their minds?

just amazingly simple & effective!

Thanks Umair, coming from an artist like you - you made my day.

Alec - my question is not directed against you in any way.

I also like your image, but I can not quite understand the soaring

ratings. Sorry that I'm frank - but I try to learn photography,

and understand the underlying psychological forces that make

people really, really like a picture (that seems to be the statistical

truth with this particular image).

What can one say but beautiful :)

Well Olli all I can say is don't only look at the ratings, the number of hits are also very high - about 54,000 in 3 days for this image. The other H2D39 images I posted also have very good following (See those in my favourite collection folder). Probably the high quality images from this camera is something that interest viewers in PN.

 

You are right about the Hasselblad H2D39 being very expensive and I am fortunate to be endorsed by Hasselblad Singapore to shoot with their cameras. I love it and hope to continue to do it justice.

 

Jayme thanks for your kind comments.

OK, thanks Alec!
