Just ran across this. I find it truly beautiful. The lighting has a lovely softness. I love the snood! Wow - who'd have thought to use that eyeshadow, but with her eyelashes and the overall look, it's really great. If I were to nitpick anything, it might be the pattern on the robe/kimono. Maybe just skin would be really pretty too.
This image is special and deserves top 5 if not a ribbon. It was one of my favorites and shows just how wrong I can be. I honesrly felt it was headed for the top 3. There is a lot of art here and beauty. This goes into my favs.
You beat Sher, you just won a plate of Pannekoeken. :)
Great! Will I get another plate if you don't manage to find my self portrait too? :))
Thanks to everyone for your comments and votes. I wasn't really going to enter this challenge, but Nasti was having a photoshoot with this model and seeing she was all dressed up in pink for a catalog shoot I asked if I could butt in and take some photos as well.
I should give this a 10 but I promised Sher not to do that. :)
He he he.
Seriously now: I like the setup, pose and composition. It is just that the face doesn't stand out good enough (for me). The tone of the skin is a bit too close to the tone (not the color but the strength of the light) to the background. Somehow she reminds me of Princess Leia.
Returning for comment:
A beautiful portrait.
The eyes seem a bit too soft against the details of the lips and the skin around the neck but the overall impression is romantic and elegant. nice work.
Hmmm ... OK, but, those eyelashes really look faky, and the picture seems just a bit long at the top. And, with all the pink in the picture, it somehow does not convey "pink". Excellent lighting though, especially in the bottom half of the picture.
I really like this photo and think that it should ribbon. IMO this photo would be out of this world with the hair down and no net. The models makeup is enough to me for the challenge. That is what stands out to me and says pink! Great work and good luck!
Solemnity and hot pink eyeshadow just don't seem to go together! I would've rated this higher had the eyeshadow been nixed, as the soft tones and her facial expression are rather endearing. But those eyes...they really just throw the whole thing off for me. I still like it though! Good luck!
