Re Chord

One of those decisions . . . delete or edit? There was a quality of concentration, involvement with the guitar that reminded me of a painting from somewhere by somebody. Lighting was poor and motion blur is evident. Lots of noise, and still it pleases me from a distance.

At one point, using the Difference mode on a layer, she looked like a ghost with living human hands and face. This is just before that happened.

The portrait is interesting. I do like the concentration on her face, as if she were oblivious to the world, just wrapped up in the music. The lighting and shadows seem too deep, leaving her with dark areas on her face that are not particularly flattering. Unlike you, my post processing skills are weak, so I'm incapable of coming up with a good solution. I'd say enjoy it for its value to you and try for better lighting next time.

Saralonde,

Thanks. Work in Progress

Different. Better?
