Thank you for being a great teacher. This is an amazing self-portrait that I shall keep to study. I know my lighting techniques will improve as I study yours.
As an artist, you are truly blessed!
This is a beautiful portrait, and apparently got high marks from two who should know, Anastasia and Kiwiness. Crayon, Philup, and hotpasta too. I like getting comments from people I respect, sometimes more than getting good scores.
I think I agree with tryals that this is a wee bit too green around the edges for me. And I do not find that the blur helped only becuase the editing was a bit spotty, meaning that it was a bit too obvious, and doesn't seem to be evenly applied. Doesn't mean that you didn't, just means that it doesn't look that way. Either go dragan, or not dragan, this is a bit in between.
I love the pose and the eyes are just gorgeous. Very demure expression nice whites and catchlights.
This is a beautiful photo. The blur helps to set apart the eyes which, I feel, are the strength of the composition. Rich colors, strong whites, good 'attitude'. 8
i like this its well executed. dark but light as the right places, not too blurry not too sharp. if anything perhaps reduce teh green in her hair but i like.
