Taylor @ Richmond Oval Photo Shoot Part IV

Thanks for any feedback.

A very beautiful picture

 

Lovely eyes!

Very nice picture. thanks for posting. Beside the fact that the model is beautiful, I like the bouquet effect which, in this case, seems to give motion to the picture. keep posting. Bye

Great portrait of a beautiful girl. Really sharp where it counts and background is sublime. Well one

Bobby and Alberto - thanks a lot guys :)

I Dale,

 

Indeed a wonderful portrait with a very beautyful background.

I love it, but looking longer at it .. unfortunately it can convince me to stay. I think my feeling is revealed in the fact that you get so many reactions, but in fact I think you expected the rates to be a little bit higher?

Then wath's wrong? ... always difficult to find out when a photo is appealing.

Wel,

- I'm not realy convinced about the place she get's in the composition (beautyful, but not STRONG)

- My nain thought is the face expression. I think there is some tension in here face we can't point out or explain, but we see it on very smal unexplainable details ... perhaps the shot took longer than expected, perhaps she got tired, perhaps she didn't have fun on that moment? Hard to say, but think about it to learn why this shot isn't in the first pages of the galleries.

I think you are doing very wel, but, as in my case, there is always still a long way to go.

Piet

Hey Piet, thanks for very for taking the time to analyze the image and offering your insight - in fact, I think you are quite right ... I remember on the day of taking this series of images (I have about 3 or 4 in these few seconds but this was the sharpest and with a smile) that I had all kinds of problems locking focus (I tend to pick a focus point rather than recomposing with the centre point for example) and you pick up this subtlety with your sharp eyes. Basically what it is, if I am not able to lock focus almost instantly and shoot at the right moment, often the moment is gone - in this case, I believe I caught the moment as it was just about leaving and hence the subtleness of the expression caught between barely being present and barely leaving. In addition, at the model shoots I take part in, 95% of the time, I am not the only one shooting the girl - in this case as her expression is in the midst of leaving, she could have been in transition to looking at another camera lens of another shooter. Thanks again Piet :)

Nice shot Dale!!

Thanks a lot Andrea :)
