OCOLOY Day 228: Mrs S after dinner...

...in the summerhouse - again.

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

A click to view on black couldn't do any harm ;-))

needed more light in her eyes imo

A click on black is always best! I like the side lighting, a lovely simple portrait.

This looks like I feel...it's been a very long fortnight and we're not finished yet.

@kali66 Thanks Kali - in the Raw (colour) file you can indeed see her eyes: this is the in camera Jpeg with my preferred high contrast B&W settings. As we sat together after dinner, I looked at Mrs S side-lit by the failing window-light and saw this image in my mind's eye - I actually had to go in the house to fetch the camera as I didn't want to miss it.

wonderful portrait , reminds me of the Beatles album ( name escapes me just now ) Where the 4 boys are pictured half in shade , With the Beatles. great use of light...

[Richard Sayer]

@jack4john Thanks John - well remembered from almost 53 years ago... the album was released 22 November 1963 and I bought it on the day that it came out!

@s4sayer Nope... John answered his own question, the album in question was the Beatles second album called With the Beatles.

[Joan Robillard]

SHe looks quizzical.

@s4sayer yes you look a bit tired, let him put some sparkle in your eye :)

You're working her too hard! Lovely portrait. Like how the lines in the background complement her clothes.

[Tom]

Wonderful use of the light and shadow

[Kathy]

Nice capture of her.
