2nd try

Francoise @francoise challenged me to do a portrait in a vintage style or a sepia. This is my 2nd attempt and thought I would go to Julia Margaret Cameron for inspiration.

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent, love the processing and sepia look

@graemestevens Thank you, Cameron's work has always been a favorite for me

[Jeff in VT, USA]

Very nice portrait and subtle lighting. Sepia works well with the presentation..

[Sylvia du Toit]

Well done.

@sdutoit @kali66 @susale Thank you all so very much, seems to take a big push to get me in front of the lens.

[PTP: Past their Prime]

Nice processing.
@snaggy

[Stephanie]

Lovely editing, I really like the way you posed for this picture too.

@pasttheirprime Thank you, have a question for you- taking a color jpeg 1st go b&w then sepia or color jpeg to sepia? What do you think?

[Walks @ 7]

@stephanies Thank you, Julia Margaret Cameron's work from the 19th century is both delicate and eerie - check it out. http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2015/sep/22/julia-margaret-cameron-victorian-portrait-photographer-exhibitions

I really like the light in this!

[Walks @ 7]

@ukandie1 Thanks, I kept turning the light more and more away. I think that I might try using a candle next time.

[Taffy]

So well done with the artist in mind -- it's a great tribute to her, and a strong result.

[Walks @ 7]

@taffy Thank you so much.

@jeffinvt Thank you, the warm tones of sepia are very good for portraits.
