sunset Jordan

thanks again... for comments and observations, very much appreciated!

this is a lovely portrait nicely balanced very well done

Excellent picture. Very sharp and nicely composed. A little less saturation, especially on the skin tones may look even better.

Very good sharpness and sun light.

Did you used only flash or another Light Source ?

Two answer two issues...

I didn't use any color saturation... but I suppose could diffuse the color in pp.. it that's necessary, but sort of ruins the point of a great sunset?

 

Second.. for aux lighting, yes, I had two off camera SB-900's kicking....

 

Thanks!

Elegant and sensual work!...Ciaomau!

I like the pose and of course the setting , a great shot !

I agree with the others. This is a wonderful image. Jordan must be happy. Nice job. David

Nice sunset and a great model, it works great!

 

Best regards Tore

i don't know about the saturation... i like the skin tones of her chest, shoulders, face, hand...her right leg seems too evenly lit for my taste... seems un-natural in this beautiful natural setting... ditto for the sandy verge... i like the top half and would halve the crop... just my opinion

When I shoot sunrise or sunset portraits like this, I bounce a Sunpak 544 into a white square umbrella, about 30 degrees off camera (short or long lighting at your discretion for the subject) which gives a much softer light and no hard shadows.You still get great separation from the background but the light has a much less harsh quality to it.

 

Love the pose and composition though!
