Shelly

Thoughts or comments very welcome . Thanks .

This is a very lovely picture. I like how Shelly kind of blends in with the white background. My only question. Was it your intention to take the picture from a low angle to emphasize the chin? It certainly does give her an air of confidence. I just wonder if it would be as effective if your angle was a bit higher, then she would have to lift her gaze and it might open her eyes up a bit more. Just a thought. Again, great picture!

Beautiful high key work. Beautiful.

Thanks for the comments , my work doesn't attract many ! May , I take your point about the V.P. I was trying to give her a " regal " look .... some you win ...

In the original shot her hair was dark brown ( it could be red next week ) , she is after all a teenager .

 

Like May, I wondered at the angle when first viewing this image. However, I really think it works here. Very nice HK tones. Regards, Jerry

Thanks Jerry , I will try again with a higher V.P. Now it's been pointed out I can't take my eyes off her chin ! It's good to have fresh eyes to view and comment . Regards , Bill

Very nice job, William. Have you ever tried starting with a black channel image as the base and then layering the full B&W on top and blend? David

Dave , I'm sorry , but you've lost me . If you can give me a walk through I'd be grateful .

Thanks for your imput anyway .

Love it - the work of a master!

A wonderful high-key shot. Nice texturing and frame top it off. Very well done!

Thank you Tony and Paul , glad you liked it . Bill

nice portrait...

Thank you Damir .

Very nice job William!

 

Graphic high key, beautiful composed, nice mood here, the frame and the eyes work well together. Eyes are over 2/3 of high of the frame, which also add some dignity. May be worth to see more the eyelashes - it will contribute to the model character.

 

Best regards Bill and thanks again for your comments on my photos, Iavor

Thanks Lavor , I agree with your point re : lashes . Noted for future ! Bill

Excellent high-key photo. Very good presentation. Congrats.

Beautiful model with a very interesting expression. The low POV is working well here for me. Nice grainy texture.

Thanks Raymond and Alain , the texture was PS 's Sandstone . Thank's for your interest . Bill
