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.
Such a wonderful portrait. Great cropping and processing. It's an interesting perspective which makes the viewer wonder what she s thinking about. Lovely.
@barbarajdonnellan Thanks Barabara - She laughed and said she was thinking about what I was going to make her for dinner at the time this shot was taken.
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 :)
@spanner I'm catching up as I've not had much time this week to look at everyone's photos and I love looking at your shots as they are the kind of photos I like, black and white and lensbaby, what more could you ask for :-)
