I really like the photo and the lighting, but the Photoshop work on this is way overdone for my taste - it makes it look like one of those cheesy velvet paintings fron the 1970's. I would love to see the original photo without all the photoshop processing.

Please leave a critique if you rate - thanks!

She is watching over me...

Comments appreciated!

I really like the pose and composition.

 

I think the diffusion is a bit too strong, though. It makes it look out of focus to me. I like the diffusion effect, but maybe a bit less would be better?

Experiment with layers. Comments appreciated!

Beautiful lighting!

 

One of the best black and white portraits I have seen in a long time.

Congratulations.

I was trying for a slightly ominous feel. Comments appreciated!

Very pretty colors in this one! You have a very nice portfolio, and a good eye. :)

 

Thanks for commenting on my Ferris Wheel also. I am adding a few more so check in again.

Another shot of Lucy.

This is my dog Lucy - she has cancer, so I have been shooting her

alot. She is still very young and playful, and is very good about

being photographed!

Thanks for the comment. It is unmanipulated. I was at 9000' elevation and shooting with a polarizer, which caused the intense blue sky.

Interested in constructive comments on this one - thanks!

This was a tricky exposure for me. The lighting had quite a range, and I wanted to use a polarizer to get contrast and a deep blue sky. I was shooting Provia 400f which already has limited lattitude, and the polarizer made it even less.

 

I metered on the brightly lit stump to give it the highest exposure I could manage without burning out the details, and then let everything else fall where it would.

 

I am happy with the results - but would really apprecitate comments/critiques on this one.

 

Thanks!!

Great expression!

My sister-in-law just got two new kittens, and really wanted a nice

photo of them since she doesn't own a camera.

It's a nice portrait!

 

My only criticism is that you might have wanted to try some more fill lighting from the left so that she doesn't seem to have such bags under her eyes, which makes her look older than a teenager. You could probably touch up the bags in photoshop, though.

This is a one hour exposure on Provia 400f. Camera is a Pentax 67

with a SMC Takumar 165mm f/2.4 lens. Tracking via an Orion Atlas EQ-G

mount, autoguided with an ST-4 through a Meade 102ED telescope.
