Default Busy Day in the Studio

A friend of mine, Ingrid, agreed to sit for me today. She did a couple of costume changes and the shoot took about 3 hours total. It was fun. I've looked at most and picked out the ones I want to work on. These are the first to pop out and so I thought I'd share. This first one reminds me of the Mona Lisa. Edited thread to add one more photo of Ingrid (of course it is the fourth photo in the series, wouldn't want to confuse people).

Yeah, me too. And that one is going to be one of my portrait entries in the county fair.

Forgot to add that the only edit on the second shot was a crop. Other than that is is SOOC. We both were surprised by that image when we reviewed the shoot. Actually, I did not do much post on the other two either. I'm kinda tired and will do my post processing tomorrow.

Thanks A-O. I spent a lot of time last night post-processing more photos from the shoot. All in all I took about 600 shots -- love digital -- and found many shots that were good. But #2 above still stands out from them all.

I too must agree that the second one really stands out. Beautiful portrait and I like the pose.
