quizzically....

I am interested in your comments. Thank you for your time. Dan

 

P.S. This version has slightly darker skin tones.

In the previous version, the highlights looked a little blown out on the PN page.

Hello Dan. I think it's a smart portrait, because of the girl and of the way to make it. I really like the position of the model and her expression's face. As you say: "very well done". Nice to see you here again. Best regards from Eugenio.

Eugenio, thank you for your kind comment. I appreciate it. Dan

Lovely portrait, original pose and point of view. I like it. Ciao.

Thank you for your kind comment Rita. As an aside, I wish I could say "Ciao," but when Americans say it, we just sound like goofballs. :-) Thanks again. Dan

Dan, excellent shot! Wonderful lighting, composure, and expression. I really enjoy it! Regards,

Oliver

I've dropped by and looked at this photo often, I actually thought I had previously left a comment.

 

I love the pose and the camera angle. The model is very sexy in a manner well suited to the nostalgia tinged and slightly unconventional spirit of the photograph. Both quirky and quizzical.

Oliver and Gordon, thank you for your generous comments. Gordon, I am sorry that I lost your original comments. A while back I reworked the image (the highlights were blown out) and submitted this version. I admit that I am not particular comfortable photographing people. I want to get better at it. I had shot a number of images with a more traditional medium-long lens, but in retrospect I was a little bored with them. Here, I was having fun with taking a portrait with a short lens, and I thought it was more interesting. I am glad that you agree. Thank you again. Dan

Hi Dan, no need to be sorry. I 'm just happy you let me know, so that I can assure myself my memory is not really that bad after all :-)

Fabulous lighting, nice angle and well shot with that little 24mm. Your model is adorable too!
