    trying something

    haven't posted here in a long time... and haven't had a lot of time to critique images although I see a lot of "old" names that are yielding some pretty powerful stuff (gary /chunk to name a few) ;) anyway just trying something for the sake of the "art" and wanted some opinions on this one...

    all ideas and feelings and thoughts welcome...

    Beautiful shot Nat. I think that a bit less saturation would give a more balanced image.
    Hope she's feeling better.

    Very Nice, Nat. I really like this composition and framing. I second Chunk on the less saturation on the hat. Great tones and lighting on this shot.

    What can I say that hasnt already been said- excellent composition; a beautiful shot. I do agree with all the others about the saturation of the Red hat.

    Re: trying something

    is this a bit better? or did I desaturate too much?

    Glad you all liked the composition...that was in essence what I was the most concerned about.... the light was just window light (following Adina's cue for beautiful light) there was some elements prsent in the back ground so I burned them out to clean up the image

    Thnaks to the three of you for looking and suggesting.

    Gorgeous! I absolutely love this Nat. I think the only minor tweak I would like is a bit of detail in the puff, similar to the trim at the base, but seriously? It's gorgeous.

    Hey Nat!
    I hope you are well. This is such a darling picture, and so beautifully framed/composed!
    I agree on the hat. Great job on the burning to clean it up. It's very crisp!

    Best wishes for the new year-
