My friend juliana with her holoween "fairy" wings. Nope they aren't drawn in or anything.
I know this looks pretty noisy, but this was done in VERY dark conditions at twilight in a thick redwood forest. Hence, very low shutter speed and higher ISO. I had to have her hold her breath so it wouldn't be blurry. I didn't realize exactly HOW dark it was until I put them into my copmputer, I could barely see the highlights of the image! I used "digital flash" to brighten it. Anyway, I really like the dark moody lighting on her face, although it might not work for others. My main deiting tool was dodging and burning. I DID NOT draw in her eye by burning even though it looks like it...I think she must have blinked. Did a lot of burning around her to take some of the distracting elements from the background away.

This is a very good study. I'm drawn to it and ike it very much. However, I had to get past the distraction of whatever the white vertical line is at her feet. It may be a sneaker sole or something else, but I wish it was not there, or at least subdued. Not enough to hurt my opinion though. This is very good.
