Nice shot Ian - looking pleased with life !
I see your backdrop too in all it's glory - I need something like that myself though I suspect I'll take the short cut and by some sort of abstact patterned material - If I can find it

Nice shot. That's a clever idea with the backdrop.
Thanks very much for your comment on my shot today. I'm flattered!

This is great! Relaxed pose. Good lighting. I actually like the backdrop, but maybe you could blur it out if your not that happy

Background matters far less than that great expression. Good one.
lovely smile, lovely light, great, click (*:*)
well captured she seems very very very comfortable posing with you. what you were doing before you click the shutter?
i would suggest to make the background a little shallower to give more depth on subject.
great shot as usual ian.

Good portrait with a good relaxed pose. The exposure and overall lighting are very flattering.
I have to agree about the background too, although I did try burning it in in PS and it wasn't too bad then. Maybe bring your subject further forward to reduce exposure on the backdrop. Mel's mum got me 10m of black velvet from Leeds market for a tenner.
I don't know if you resharpen your shots after scanning but you will find that they generally need a bit.
For this image, try:
Unsharp Mask
Amount 180%
Radius 0.3 pixels
Threshold 0 levels
You will notice a big difference.

Hi Rab - if I got her further away from back drop she wpould be sitting on the camera she is literally about 2' away from tripod foot.
But I am intending getting some different back drops am intending going to Abercans in Liverpool 2morrow.
Thanx for comments always appreciated.

Hi Ian, You really caught something of her character in this one - harder than just making dolly birds look nice! I hardly noticed the backdrop behind her dazzling smile but you are right, a choice of backgrounds is very useful. Glad to hear you got your own studio up and running, it is a godsend for portrait work. I live in a small bungalow - trying to persuade my wife re a move to somewhere bigger!
All the best, Gordon.
