Her second second

...

Taa bad the shadow in in her face.. not good, I think :(

Wow. What red hair. I agree with the comment on the deepness of the nose shadow, but think it is somewhat minimized by cropping tighter from the right, and a little de-saturation. I think the cropping better accentuates the beautiful smile.

Of course noses are giving shadows in these (!!!) cases. However in the past decades we are just manipulated or were manupulating each other: "Those kind of shadows are not done!" That's a very serious limiting of spontaniously enjoying, so far more than just a pity! So we are PSing ourself poor! Yes, there is magnificant (!) PS-work. Haha.. yes, also different cases! Do give them a name! Getting on a healthy temperature, Olaf. :)

I think the format perfect. The shadow around that hear is great. Yes, see what you mean of course (taste matter) However even a feww mm crop would already give a problem at the top. I think: just in matters of different tastes, we have to accept the original. It's the photographers signature. That means, do read the photo symply by comparing with the portfolio. By the way, most of the times I do crop by shooting, behind the PC different shots often just a few mm. And I'm even thinking of holding on with that at all! However in some cases it's a very difficult decission! Glad you are still there! :)Olaf

Pretty snapshot, I like the light.

 

 

such beautiful smile. very good shot. regards.

In a luminous moment, a smile dispels the darkness.

Entering the bright sun, afternoon, busy Aix en Provence. Haha.. I very quickly changed (we both were walking) the exposure time.. Too much! Do call that luck now..! :) Dave, I enjoy very much your talent of expressing..!

I like this work!
