Hi Phil
First off these are my opinions and others will disagree, the model is looking as if she is not happy at all, the necklace is untidy and the pose I do not find flattering, sorry but I do not like this one.
Regards
Trev.
Gosh!!!
Fabulous capture
Everything Trev says makes me love this image all the more
Dynamic image springs to mind .....
In my opinion one of your best...
I am just back from london after seeing so many exhibitions .... and this is tops.
Not one of your better images Phil.
I dont mind the look, - its sort of a harsh headmistress expression. What I can see when downloaded is that its composed only of shades of grey, with an absence of both black and white. Assuming you have Photoshop, look at levels, - the histogram is bunched in midtones. Drag the slider at both ends inwards to meet the graph for a very different image.
The top half is less exposed that the bottom half, which could be evened out, and its very soft, - needs sharpening. When you cropped, you left a small white line at the bottom. Cant see it here because its a small grey line!
I have a mod if you want to see it, just send me a PM. I think this is associated with the method you used for mono conversion.
Apologies to those who think otherwise, but this is honestly not a good shot. If you intended this to look as is, lets know, of if you were after a particular look that just didnt turn out, lets know too.
Regards
Willie
