Wonderful lighting and a beautiful shot. I'm not sure what is happening on the white of her eye but on my monitor there seems to be a bunch on black spots.
Wonderful light and B&W conversion. I like the soft effect you did. It enhances the dreamy, melancholic look of your model. She looks like she's waiting by a window for someone to come. "Some day my prince will come" anyone?
What an absolutely great series of portraits. Great lighting, great highlights in the hair, nice softness and glow to the skin. I'd love to spend a day(though I'm sure it would take more) with you learning about portraits. Awesome work.
Absolutely love it, Mia! The lighting is perfect, and the dreamy glow just lovely. It makes me wonder what you are thinking, or perhaps you are just sittng by the window, waiting. :)
OMG!!! This is fantastic. Has such a vintage feel to it with her curls and that hint of softness. I like that she isn't wearing much makeup, but has the quintessential bow lips with probably red lipstick on. Not at all 50's, but more like the 20's or 20's for sure. This is REALLY wonderful.
this evokes a sappy fifties-ish kind of look, that actually makes me feel quite nostalgic. The emotion is good, though, like a good actor in a corny movie. There's a great pleasure in that.
I disagree about the light "blur" I see it more as lens flare and it feels like a natural part of the lighting to me.
Marvelous lighting, softness and tones. Superb composition. My only nit would be the light blur on mid right. There is not enough detail for it to really add to the image and you might think of burning it out. Otherwise this is dang nice!
