At the suggestion of some excellent PN members, I have made some

adjustments to this photo. Nothing besides cropping and some minor

dodging has been done to this photo.

 

Please let me know what you think.

 

 

Cheers!

I think you got the best shot you could get given the conditions.

 

I to like the shot and think it is well done.

 

 

Cheers!

 

I am wondering if she is back lit, and if you metered on her face (which may be in the shadow). That would cause this type of exposure... other than that, I am tapped... good luck ;-)

I think the only problem here is the time of day you chose to shoot. It seems that the lighting, and correct me if I'm wrong, is about midday, or perhaps early afternoon.

 

An early morning shoot, when the quality of light is better would have greatly increased the aesthetics of the shot.

 

Barring that of course, an assistant holding a screen to even the light source out would have gone a long way. You could also use a longer lens to eliminate the overexposure problem.. just be sure to use the histogram and meter on the parts indicated as being overexposed.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers!

Some may argue that the definition of art is the ability to make the

ordinary, extraordinary. It is my attempt to do this through natural

light and no manipulation.

 

I hope you enjoy the way I see nature.

 

Cheers!

I love this cropping... very, "Johnathan Livingston Seagull" :-)

 

 

Cheers!

I like the subjective contrast here. It is very difficult to separate the foreground element from the background is shots like this, I have been trying for years ;-)

 

 

Cheers!

 

Adolfo,

 

This is clearly a wonderful picture. Well captured, and the negative space is very appealing.

 

My only critique, if you can call it that, is that the pedals are gray rather than white. I think that this is due to the fact that the photo was taken in some sort of shaded area, in which case a little fill flash, or bounced light, would have went a long way in bringing out the colors even more.

 

Great pic though, thanks for sharing.

 

 

Cheers!

What an amazing shot... Patience obviously paid off on this one.

A striking high key.

 

Cheers!

How did you acheive this stunning high key effect. So crisp and clean.

 

Cheers!
