Love the presence this has on the monitor, especially with the natural textures of her skin.
Only nit here is I see some pinkish areas on her right cheek, lower jawline & on the turtleneck above the cup. Wasn't sure if it was these old eyes or my monitor, so I dragged it into CS2 and jacked the saturation, confirming I was seeing it right. (sometimes having a well calibrated monitor is really a pain)
WoW!!!! This shot is really really emotive. I've been checking your work and i must say just one thing: i think you are one of the best photographers in DPC, so i just added you to my my favorite photographers. Keep up your great level!
It's about time you made it back :) and with a lovely SP too :)
This has so much emotion, I am glad you decided to convert it to B&W. Looks like window light and it is beautiful. The texture of your shirt compliments the texture of your hat beautifully and creates a nice frame for your lovely face. Well done!
