Having been watching your portfolio, and am a little unsure as to why you didn't place higher. This is a wonderful capture, with really strong focus on the clarity of the eyes. Thanks for your comment too!
(my first high key try-out) I hate explanations in titles. Let the photo speak for itself. This is a great capture and does not require footnotes. I am not sure that this is the best crop but overall really good. 9
Once again - very strong work. An excellent image. Your high key attempt works great with ths strong contrast and detail in her eyes IMHO. Keep this up along with the work in your portfolio and you will be rewarded well here at DPC.
Actually a very good first attempt. Nothing looks burnt out, good catch light and just enough shadow under the eyebrows and lips for definition. A little loss of detail on the left (her right) ear and hair. Much better than most of the other shots of kids in this challenge
This just has to win the ribbon, Absolutely stunning!!!! I don't think any other picture that this little girl has taken of her will ever capture her the way you have. Just beautiful!!! Would love to be able to take a photo of my little girls like this someday. (tips welcome;) A much deserved 10!!!!!!!
I was browsing your portfolio shortly before this challenge & this is one of many images that caught my attention. As good as this looks here, it's ironic that it looks even better in color.
You have an incredible eye & sense of space- good luck! << 10 >>
I'm not generally a big fan of High Key, but I think you've done a pretty nice job here. The eye's are the star of this shot of course. Great catchlight and clarity in those eyes. Nice job.
nice high key. well done, but the composition and crop really bother me. lots of wasted sapce on the left. i tighter crop should have been used here. good shot though. 7
I might've pushed it a little further with the high key- ie, pushed the whites even a little more. Nice expression, the cropping is okay. The eyes are fabulous
this is nice. Love the eyes. I love high key and can never seem to get it right. Everyone always complains about it being too light. But I love this look.
great photo - tacky title. Love the photo in every way, have no real input. Won't penalize you for the dumb title, but I think you did your excellent work a disservice - 8 for now
Wow, you did very well on your first high key! High key is probably my favorite kind of portrait, and this one is beautiful! Nice soft skin tones (without being tooooo soft). Great clarity in the eyes. I bet it won't be your last high key, will it :) This is one of my highest rated photos so far! Good luck! 9
I don't think the high key works so well here. Kids have great skin and usually high key will make adult skin look better. Not that you can't photo children in high key. Because your lighting down on her face the depth of light is dropping off a bit and her chin and lower lip has some tone coming in. This makes me feel like your light is just uneven and over exposed not high key. Even so I love the faming and the expression 7
