We can be our own worst critics for our photos and I cannot help but notice a little stray shadow from Hollie's hair drifting into her eye on the left hand side of the frame.
Her make-up is beautiful and she makes a wonderful model. I think you've done her justice Phil. Don't stress over the small things! I like your idea to go for an Adele-like cover photo.
I see absolutely no harm in sweating the small stuff - I think it's a good thing provided we don't get so tied up with it that we inhibit ourselves.
Having said that, if I've indentified your shadow correctly I'd already taken it on board as being one of the tiny blood vessels in her eye.
Makes a great b&w and the close up and personal take is really quite disconcerting. That is not an adverse comment, btw, far from it.
@dulciknit thanks for the detailed analysis and compliments Alison. I think I sweat about the small stuff because I start my role as a photography judge next week !!!
@ahleena look forward to your take on this genre poppy :)
@judithg ahh judith , good spot regarding the raised eyebrow and I was too involved with the shadow on Mollie's left eye I didn't notice the raised eyebrow :)
@Cherrill thanks cherrill, these are easy to do under LED studio lights, you just dial in an ISO setting, set your camera to a setting you think will work and then just compose the shot how you wish :) .
@nickspicsnz glad you like the interpretation nick :)
@quietpurplehaze thanks haze, i've been wanting to do a portrait in this style for a while :)
@eyesmile thanks gena, pleased you think it is "professional" :)
I had to do the same! I'm impressed! Beautifully executed............
