Girl in a Car

Vivian Maier does it so much better.
But I think I know why and I just may get a repeat tomorrow to see if I can do better.
Here is what I tried to replicate:

[Annie D]

it's a beautiful image - well done!

[Joan Robillard]

As cute as the dogs

[summerfield]

the light, perhaps? the catchlight makes this a wonderful portrait. aces!

[Suzanne]

Wonderful portrait a la VM

[Wendy]

@summerfield
No - the girl in Vivian's car is leaning forward ... almost as if she wants to connect with the camera whereas my girl is hanging back.
I will try to do it again except give my model more instructions.

[LManning (Laura)]

I like the almost journalistic feel of this.

[Helen Jane]

I think you did well. But I see your comment to Vicky and can see your point. Look forward to seeing if you are able to get that stronger connection.

[Kathy]

A lovely portrait and black and white.
