    Re: Beautiful Face

    She is beautiful. The only problem for me...maybe its just me, i enjoy looking at a person's eye. There is a lot going around her eyes with her hair and grass. Other than that, i like the DOF, the lines of the grass, her great skin, composition. great shot.
    Lightroom is my Darkroom...Hahaa.

    No kidding a beautful face. My only suggestion would be to make this a tighter shot; just a bit too much space going on around your subject and at first glace the palm trees in the background are bit like ears or wings coming out of her head but that is real nit-picky. Maybe a crop just outside the palm tree on the left and come in on the right to her left shoulder. The grass is fine, in this instance it does not distract from the overall composition. Nicely done.

    I was going to say what CF already said. Use a tighter crop and get rid of the trees coming out of her head.

    Re: Beautiful Face

    Neat shot. The model looks very nice and I really like the way you positioned her so that her face was in shadow. The exposure was right on and I like the grass effect, though I agree Flowremix that the blades are cutting right across her one eye. That is a neat effect but I would have preferred to see her eyes clearly I think.

    The only real thing I would change though is the buildings in the background. Somehow they're more of a distraction than something that adds to the shot. Just my opin...
