Girl close up (B&W)

From a "portrait" session this weekend

window light ...



150mm F/3, barely enough DOF to have both eyes in focus

Hmm. Certainly a nice shot of her that she'll like, Armando. It may be a tad too bright... Not sure. Some suggestions,

- Crop a bit of her forehead off, as I think it's too prominent.
- Can you darken her lipstick in PP?
- Selectively sharpen her eyes a tad.
- Try reducing the contrast a little, which may help with the mentioned facial brightness.

I think this head position's classical. Nice work

Such an excellent portrait. The gaze is amazing. Nice black and white. I think this is pretty much perfect. Well done.

[draymorton]

Very good.

Thanks GB, Liban and Dray

here is an edit , cropped to 4x6, slight burning on her lips, a touch less contrast to make it darker overall, and some sharpening on her eyes

I liked the first version but looking at the second I think all of the suggestions are right on and it looks better. Nice work!

[draymorton]

Even better.

Possibly a slight teeth dodge other that,what dray said
