Any thoughts appreciated.

Monte,

 

No, I'm not calibrated. I've since learned from a discussion forum, that my monitor is casting yellow / green tints. Gonna have to get a calibration system I guess, or continue with the 3/3's I generally get. Thanks for the "Bird" information - she now wants to visit! ha ha... Thanks again for everything you've offered! Tony

Your forgot an adjective in your title, "elegant."

Both your representation of your art, and your model deserve it.

"Simple Yet Elegant Portrait".

Thanks Monte, on my screen I don't see that. Perhaps I need to calibrate my monitor. Thanks for letting me know! Tony

Very nice. This image conjures up many stories for me. Tony

I almost passed up on this, didn't really capture my attention - but got me curious, so I went for a closer look. I'm glad that I did - the large version really shows of how nice thie image really is! Great job! Tony

Steven,

 

Thanks for the comment and guidence. She always smiles easily, she's a hoot and always kidding around, and yes, we could have gotten a bigger smile from him, but I was just happy to get him in the chair! I think in future pictures with him he'll trust me more. Thanks again, Tony

Gerry,

 

Thanks for the thoughts. All exceptional. Yes, her underneath was red, but a little shy for taking off the coat. Agree (hinde site) I should have had a back light it would have helped. I'm lucky to have got the "gent" in the picture, he usually doesn't care for his pictures, however this one (post productions) he was pleased with. I think I'll get all of his pictures now. (=

 

Thanks again for your detailed comments they DO help!

Tony

J. Thanks for all your comments! It is appriciated. Sorry for such a long delay in response, I've been gone a while. Tony

Drago, thank you for your comment. Tony

Monte and R, thank you both for you kind responses. Sincerely, Tony

F.N. - Thank you for the comment and time you spent.

Very cute Marius.

Vassil,

 

Another beautiful image for your portfolio. You are a master with the eyes!

Best regards. Tony

Saving my favorite for last.

Oskar, thanks for the comment, never noticed it that way before. I think you're right! Best wishes.

Drago, excellent, vivid composition! I hope you'll return in the Spring to share with us that beauty as well. Thanks for sharing! Tony

Steven, this is a lovely shot. I'm sure that she was pleased with it. Nicely done! Tony.

Nina, I think it's a nice shot, curious to know if you used a reflector or not. I think maybe not. Had you a third person with a reflector to bounce light back to her shadowed face it may have turned out even nicer. IMHO. Still it's lovely.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking!

I almost past this one up, but there was something drawing me in. It wasn't until I saw it in it's largest view did I really appriciate it. Love the detail in her eyes and hair, and the background compliments her dress and the image's over all tone. She looks lively and fun. I think it's a really good shot. Congrats! Tony

Tore, nice shot. Love the radiance of her skin tone with that dark blue/black hair. (side note) She reminds me of a young Anne Wilson of Heart. Can she sing? ( ;

Tony

I really like this image and your model has an exotic look. The only thing that I could mention (just my taste) is the nail polish and the lipstick almost clash. I would have liked to seen same color / shade. Love her face, eyes, hair and make-up. Tony

Susan, very nice image. At first I thought you might crop off some of the top because the picture looked really unbalanced (a lot) - but I screen shot it and played with crops, I think it looks better as is. Really pretty. Congrats.
