Lovely low-key "whole body portrait". I think this crop works better but the increased enlargement makes the rather uneven grain pattern (probably grain aliasing again) more prominent. You could try some selective smoothing as I used on your other desert photo which had a similar problem, but here the grain and limited DoF all contribute to an interesting atmosphere - you could possibly add grain to make it more even.

Best wishes, Jonathan

Good lighting and pose. You might want to get rid of the moles on her breast and leg. I think the grain works well here.

Very fine pose and lighting. Leave the moles. (Or did the gentleman mean take her to the dermatologist?). I'm on a borrowed computer, and don't know if the screen is of a very high caliber, but I do see some noise on the legs particularly. Still and all, a very likeable image.

It really is a lovely shot - one of the nicest intimate portraits I've seen. Congratulations to both of you.

 

I mentioned the option of enhancing the grain pattern that seemed somehow to bring out the mood...

... like this.It was done by adding grain to a blurred layer with increased contrast and merging it with a sharpened original.

 

I shall delete the foreground copy in a few days unless you would like it left up for discussion.

 

Best wishes, Jonathan

It's at the very least an interesting effect. Do keep it posted; I imagine that I, at least, will want to keep coming back to it.

My first reaction is we old-timers refer to it as "grain," this image having been taken with film and all. However, looking at the legs, I think there may be some noise or compression issues in the PN version. And, as a matter of fact, she does have an annual date with the dermatologist . . .

Thanks for your time to visit my portfolio and your comment. I really like this photo. The perfect lighting makes this image an artistic nude. Well done.
