Beauty Dish and semi reflective table, Converted to BW in DPP. Your

comments are welcome, thanks.

Thanks again for the comments, yes I think she wore colored contacts, hence the BW conversion.

Thanks Johnny, focus is easy if you use f/11. I was lucky the studio has powerful strobes.

To Bony, yes I agree, the eyes is too much at the edge and lips could  be better too. I wish I gave better direction and took more pictures of that pose. if I were to work with her again I will use your suggestions. Thank you.

These birds flew low to the water, they were not landing or taking off. I

was in the front of the ferry when I spotted these, ran to the back and

they're farther from what I'd like already. The background is Burlington

VT.

I'd just like to share this picture from the UN Security Council Chamber

in New York. Notice the Phoenix rises from the ashes mural in the

background.

I'm not sure about the category btw. This is the General Assembly of

the UN, someone left his hat here.

Great pose, good light. Those 2 white posts in the background distract a little bit though. Also brighter background will give better separation with your model especially that she has black hair.

Also I see catch light on one eye but not the other.

Good post-processing as well with just a touch of glow.

Overall, good job.

You have talents. And I just look at your portfolio, I was overwhelmed. Thank you for making a beautiful pictures of peoples and country of Indonesia.

As for the undermining comments; I remember this anecdotes:

I saw this as I was leaving this botanical garden in West Java. I

asked the car to stop so I could take this. Photo is uncropped,

adjusted for white balance only.
