spenaloza 0 Posted July 5, 2008 I think if she had a more relaxed pose and a smile on her beautiful face, it would be better, (I dont like the bones , sorry) , best regards //Salvador Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Salvador, you're right. I quickly reshot it and reposted it. Link to comment
jeff.grant 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Poofy hair is a cultural thing., imho. In this case, I don't think that is doing her any favours. It's a pretty guarded stare that she is wearing. Perhaps a hint of a smile would help? Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Jeff, looky here. I uploaded a corrected version using my hint plug in, but it hasn't cleared the photonet server, or whatever. Link to comment
peter_daalder 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Interesting that currently this image has popped up beside it, in the right margin. Did you apply the hint filter on that one too? Link to comment
jeff.grant 0 Posted July 5, 2008 I'm going out to take some piccies, we all need to get out more. je pense. Link to comment
peter_daalder 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Hmmm, I think that at the monument my photography is suffering from SAD.Its gloomy and cold down here today. Plenty of snow on the mountains, but snow can be overrated at the best of times. Link to comment
jeff.grant 0 Posted July 5, 2008 That's SAD indeed. I think that I have it made these days with a place near the beach and one in the mountains, the best of both worlds. Snow can be a bugger, I agree. Link to comment
sickboy666 0 Posted July 5, 2008 Nice shot, and looks a bit like a high school yearbook. Definitely 80's. A style you like or not. I Do. Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted July 6, 2008 no hint filter on that photo, Pete, but he looks like he needs it, doesn't he? Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks PDE, Christophe, it's an old image, something like 1992, so your comment is right on the money. I thought the hair was more or less undated, but I guess the poof in the front is an artifact from the 80's and early 90's, isn't it. Link to comment
mg 0 Posted July 21, 2008 I agree with Jeff that the hair style doesn't help - too much of a forehead. And I agree very much that the stare is just too stiff and too empty. It's technically absolutely clean - except for the lack of a black point and lack of contrast on my own monitor ? -, but it really doesn't do much in terms of getting acquainted to her personnality. Cold, very cold, and too cold for me to like it. Lastly, and for what it's worth, with a jaw and a chin like this, I'd take about any angle and any head position except this one. This straight on face view is already setting you up for the most rigid outcome. Just the way I see it, sorry. Cheers. Link to comment
jkilgo 0 Posted August 6, 2008 Lovely portrait...I like the B&W conversion here....also I think the low contrast and low ratio lighting are effective...wonderful demur expression and amazingly pearcing eyes. Nice job. Link to comment
