Painted Lady

Not sure if perhaps I should have cropped the top off, closer to her face.

Please let me know what you think of the light ect. Thank you very

much for your time and thoughts.

I like this one (in color) much more. The contrast between the blue and black is very nice.

Thank you for your honest comments on my photo of Ci-Ci, it is these comments that help me improve as a photographer. I really like this image you have taken, kind of reminds me of the famous Afghan Girl. Well done. JB

Thank you Maurizio, John, Keith and John. It is always a wonder to see which photos draw people's attention. I think I like the blue the best too except I am disappointed in myself for having such a soft focus. I did not realize it until I was revviewing them later. Live and learn. Thank you all for taking the time to express your thoughts. Always glad to hear from you

I like the shot, the crop and the composition. Great shot... Love the design on her face... Great shot. Linda

Tripod tripod tripod....I sttill love the series...What a special model you have....did you do the paint job? I like both the color and the B&w and the color....Excellent....juan

Thanks Linda and Juan. Actually I was using a trippod but the light was not bright enough and I hate flashes. Being that the shutter stayed open too long, I think perhaps the movement was hers... Yup, I did the painting. And we had fun too. Eventually we moved outside to get stranger light, rather than window light. Those frames are much clearer.
