Sans Carpet

 

For Jim Wrightwood who seems to share my love of negative space and detail in dark hair.

 

Feedback appreciated.

I would have to agree that negative space isn't as appreciated as it should be. Fine photo!

I like it , It's a good portrait well composed

Soft lighting & contrast, smooth skin tones, splendid composition, charming expression, David, another tasteful portrait!!! Best regards

David, here's to you and Jim for fine talent in the Negative space world! This is exquisite! Regards, Doug

Devon, Maybe we should start a club. 'The negative space appreciation society.' Thanks for stopping by.

 

Alon, Thanks a lot. There is something that niggles me though.

 

Shay, I am sure when I originally composed this shot all of her right hand was in the shot. I might be worng. However the fact that 3 of her finger have been cropped out annoys me. I am sure she must have dropped her wrist a little. As for the advertising space... perhaps a Robbie Williams song.

 

Richard, Comments like that will have me believing I am good at portraits. Maybe I should try to take more. I certainly like the feedback everyone is giving me for this.

 

Doug, I think you can join 'The negative space appreciation society' too. Thanks a lot.

 

Thanks everyone I prefer comments to ratings.

Very nice.

I liked both of them! Thanks!

Lovely tones and composition, Dave.

Thanks Emmanuel, I do like this shot myself.

You have done a wonderful job with tonal separation in this image. The separation of the hair from the background is perfect as are the skin tones.

 

As you know, I love hands and you did a beautiful job with the position of hers.

 

If you are near NSW Australia next weekend I have a show opening there next week.

 

-Cheers

Thank you for your comment, David...I must tell you a secret: I love Magritte! ;-)

 

You have really an outstanding portfolio, full of humor, creativity and technique. There are so many photos I love, and this is just one of my favourites, soft and strong at the same time.

Congratulations David...and thank you for sharing!

Owen, I am not sure how I missed your comment here but I am glad to see it now. I too like the hands.

 

Elisabetta, Thanks for stopping by. She is quite lovely.
