Lady

It is not often she will pose for me. I like the composition and the processing - I played a lot with the blue channel after looking at the book club text. I am pleased with this shot.

Great shot, like how the face fills the frame. Nice face, lovely eyes.

[Robyn]

Lovely portrait. I like the crop.

[Barbara Donnellan]

Such a wonderful portrait. Great cropping and processing. It's an interesting perspective which makes the viewer wonder what she s thinking about. Lovely.

[Paula W]

Artistic as always, super portrait.

[Spanner]

@paulaw Thank you Paula.

[Rachel Withey]

Fantastic portrait. I like the way she is looking slightly off to the side and the contrast is great

[Spanner]

@rachelwithey Thanks Rachel - your experiments with processing have really inspired me to experiment further. Glad you like it.

There are aspects of this I really love, the crop, her eyes, however I can see why she might not like this, I think I have read somewhere that male portraits you go for detail in skin texture etc. , female you should go for a more flattering softer look, hope she lets you try again :)

[Channelf]

Great composition and contrast.

[Lisa Pouncy]

So you should be. It's intriguing and mysterious. I wonder what she's thinking xx

[Spanner]

@kali66 thanks Kali. I know it is not the most flattering processing. The kind responses might mean she will let me take another picture one day.

[Spanner]

@channelf thank you.

[Spanner]

@psychographer "what's for dinner"? That is what she is always thinking. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
