What beautiful lighting. I'm not sure if this is taken with a diffraction filter, soft focus or just a little motion blur. The effect is largely the same. You have evoked a feeling of a minstrel strumming a gentle lullaby in a dark bedroom, perhaps that of a young child, lit by a night light or something.
I wonder if this effect might even be heightened by a slight drop in brightness to really give it a gentle feel. The light on the hand is just a bit strong.
Thanks for posting this pic. It's a great style that I hope one day I might find a situation to imitate. |
