This is my friend Summer. She's actually more family than friend and I love to take pictures of her because she's so pretty -- and because she's so great in front of the camera. Every Monday, all my sisters and neices get together for "Sister Day", and Summer is always there. I'll try not to use her every week :)
were you so happy submitting this you forgot to add the lens/exif info Sandy?
I thought the shot of Jordan last week was about as good as it gets but this is truly remarkable :) ok, beautiful models help and you captured her so well. That bokeh is to die for! (50/1.8?). nothing I can think of to improve this - excellent work Sandy (I've come to expect it from you now and look forward to each weeks submission).
*edited to say*
oops, my comment about Jordan was wrong and have to admit to skipping forwards to pick out the pretty girls - guess I've been caught out lol.
She is gorgeous! Very nice capture of her beautiful hair. That is so cool that you all get together like that. I hope to do create something like that with my kids when they are all grown up.
wow! this looks like an ad for a movie or concert, that bokeh in the b/g is just ACES! she is indeed very pretty. i wouldn't mind a little more sharpness in the eyes but i think thats mostly just because i have come to expect razor sharp focus from you
Another great portrait Sandy. I like how the rule of thirds applies here....the eyes and the hair. I've been paying more attention to movies, etc. to actually watch this being used more than I thought. Nice soft details and bokeh.
Sandy, this has to be a near perfect portrait. The crop is really appealing, the lighting giving her hair so much detail, with no harsh shadows anywhere is stellar. Like others, I like the bokeh in the upper right...it just adds to an already great photo.
A tremendous portrait, Sandy. Lighting is excellent, particularly the way it lights and highlights her hair. The bokeh is understated yet perfect for the background, and her expression couldn't be better. Lovely in B&W. I'm going to guess that she really likes this one, yes?
This is a beautiful portrait, not because your model is pretty, but because she's at ease in front of the camera and you've what comes off as the true Summer. Pose and lighting are fantastic, and that little bit of bokeh on upper right works great compared to just emptiness.
