"Beauty Walks Among Us..." Dedicated to my friend Frederick Dunn your image "Lost" inspired this ...

Please share your thoughts.

 

I created something of my own from the original image.

deb,

 

This is much better than the two color versions of this one that I saw. The one with the blue dress and green background did not work at all - The two colors did not go well together.

 

I am assuming you are trying to make this look like an old photograph? (OK) - I think you need to crop just a little off the top to make it more top/bottom balanced - Your contrast is good - You have done a good job of lighting this, but she needs more light in her eyes - I think her eyes could be more in focus - I would be better to pose her hands showing the edge of her hands rather than a flat side (top or palm). This makes the hands more feminine, slimmer and graceful - I would have had her turn her head and look the other direction - she would be looking into the picture rather than out of the picture. I know she is looking in the direction she is walking, but if you would not have told us in the title that she is walking I would have thought she was standing with the wind blowing her hair and dress.

 

"photos by deb" is not part of the photograph. It belongs on the mat.

 

Nice shot of a pretty girl,

Thank you so much for all your helpful comments. I'm always so pleased when I put something out there and others take time to help me learn!

I'm so glad you posted "Lost" and inspired me! Thanks for your encouraging words in regard to this image.

Just to echo an earlier comment, I love all versions of this one, but the green and yellow. For me, that one didn't work. But I can't really pick a favorite among the other three, though, this may be it if I was forced.
