I love this shot. Lovely light and shade. What settings did you use? What have you done in post production?

I would crop some of the black on the right hand side so she is not so centred.

i love it! she's beautiful! love the PP work, as well!

Excellent potrait. Nice PP.Only thing as somebody said, the right side could have been cropped , since that black portion is occupying more than 1/3rd of your frame. Otherwise I loved it

[doofusthewalrus]

thanks for the suggestions! ill def. take it into account

er.. i used lightroom for the pp work, its basicaly a combination of clarity, temp, and exposures... sorry, again .still a noob with the terms...

Open your image in Flickr, look at the right side, and you'll see a link to more properties. Click that then cut and paste only the info that's relevant to the image.

I edited your original post and added the EXIF info that people want to see.


I like your second shot best. The first one seems to have some serious harsh light going on.

very nice work! I agree that a crop would improve the first shot overall. The second shot is better still.
