Nice job. The light is well done. Being picky the hair in her eye bugs me a little. I can see why you gravitate to using your girlfriend as a model but it is beginning to give you away .... kinda like those folks from Cannon Beach, Or. Not that it hurts their scores LOL!
Incredible shot. Love the clarity on her face and the expression. The eye shadow contrasting the leaves or ivy puts everything together, and the composition is just perfect. DOF right on the money. Awesome work. 10
Very good use of natural light, and a great job on the makeup! Just a couple of things that I find distracting: that one leaf in front of her hair, and the hairs that seem to be caught in her eyelashes.
I feel like I know her.....very nice pose, makeup. Your focus is spot on, grea dof. I like the leaf in front of her right side, makes her feel 'in' the forest
I like the colors and lighting in this photo, the colors are so dramatic, and her eyes are just gorgeous. Would have been extremely cool if there were some wings....what is that coming from her eye? Long lashes?? Great picture, very interesting, 8.
Nice lighting, the only problem is that she is looking away from the frame, leading you away from the rest of the pic... If u would have had her at the right side of the pic, or cropped out the Ivy from the right, it would be a much stronger photo IMHO. Good Luck though ;)
Great make-up and lighting.
ETA: now I think I know where I saw this model. Noisemaker? If so I kindda understand the dancing banana now. It should do well, maybe ribbon, good luck!
I think I know why you're getting so many views! It's because it's very good. I'd get ready for a ribbon... Beautiful color, comp and clarity. Well done.
