- Just a Girl -

This is my first theatre shot taken from a large distance. The

circumstances concerns lightning where pretty bad. So I'm very

interested to hear your opinion about the result of my attempt to

make a nice portrait. What concerns the girl; I know nothing else

about her than that she is an 14 year old student piano player. She

competed in a piano contest and I was attracted by her angelic

radiation. Here she was listening to the review of the jury.

 

I appreciate your constructive comments. Thank you very much, Ada.

This is absolutely beautiful, Ada.

You have captured her angelic radiation beautifully.

Ada, this portrait is convincing because of the expression you captured. The half smile and the eyes reveal her sweet nature. Besides, what I love in it, is that she was not aware you were shooting her and this intensifies the spontaneity of her expression and her beauty.

Ada, nice result of your first attempt. You have well succeeded in presenthing her angelic face, lovely portrait. Pnina

ADA THIS IS A GREAT PORTRAIT THATACCENTUATES THE FRAGILITY,PHYSICALLY OF WOMEN

I THINK THE SHOT HAS A GREAT FEELING

Thank you all, Lannie, Julius, Paula, Pnina and Tony, for your appreciation. I was in doubt about the result because it's like there is a haze over the picture which I can not take away without loosing the softness which dominates the portrait. If any one of you think that it's possible to make it more clear without ruin the soft mood I'm open for your suggestions and advice.

 

Thanks again everybody for your kind comments. Warm greetings, Ada:~)

 

 

Ada, I just downloaded it and added Unsharp Mask at 15 (no more). In my opinion, this is just enough to get the effect you want without having it look a bit too soft--and without oversharpening.

 

Either way, it is truly well done. Congratulations.

Kind regards dear Ada. (swedish pronounce Aaa-da)

 

Lannie thanks again for helping me thinking, very kind of you!:-)

 

Julio, thanks you so much for your kind comment.

 

Hi Jan, nice to see that you are back again. I thought that your holiday started to be endless;-) Thank you very much for your kind comment to the portrait and for your compliment concerns my biopic. Because of my poor English I had to follow your link and than I found out what you meant, you joker!:))))

 

I'm glad to hear that in Sweden the pronounciation of my name is just similar to the Dutch. Perhaps you will say: 'what's in a name', but to me as a genealogist a name means very much to me as well as the pronounciation of it. I was pretty amazed and a bit shocked when I discovered how the English speaking pronounce my name. It sounds so weak in their language while in Dutch it has a much more powerful radiation and power fits much more to my personality because I'm not such a softy. Hahaha;0)))

 

Many greetings to all of you, Ada:-)

Very nice portrait. Just a girl ? If I could meet her she would not be just a girl for me. She has the type of face that makes me fall in love.

Dear Henry, your reaction is exactly what I have tried to elicit with my title. I agree with you that she looks irresistible sweet.

 

Warm Regards, Ada:-)

This is that kind of face that It seems to say: " I'm dreaming of you, my Prince" and some day my mouth will be yours and neverending kisses will be a candy gift for your protection and men's arms.

 

GReetings,

Chris

 

 

Hi Krysztof, great to see you and thank you for your kind words. I agree that her angelic face calls up romantic feelings. I'm not a man, but even for a woman her lovely face and radiation are irresistible.

 

Warm Regards to you and your family in Poland, Ada;-)

 

BTW, how is Tom doing?
