Re: Portrait III
You really are accomplished when it comes to covering all areas of the grayscale. I also enjoy that your subjects and the way you photograph them are a little abnormal. In regard to this: big girl on the beach. Not usually a place larger girls like to go because of the swim suit aspect (even though she isn't wearing one). I don't know that I'd change anything...maybe crop to the side a little so the subject isn't right in the middle...but I don't know.

Re: Portrait III
What a luscious Venus you have presented us with. The balance between horizon and wave line on the beach is beautiful. Lovely work.

I have always wanted to comment on your wonderful portraits Willem, but I have never known quite what to say. So here goes...
I very much enjoy this portrait, I like the expression she has on her face as well as her pose.
I also think the compostion works, afterall, she is the subject. The enviorment is important, but not nearly so as she is to the portrait.
Thanks for posting!

Re: Portrait III
This is such a fantastic print! Well done! I would really like to be able to offer up some suggestions for improvement, but I can't see anything at the moment. I'll revisit this if I do. Good choice using the slightly wide angle lens. It gives the picture a nice cinematic quality.
Well deserving of the sticky! Congrats!

Re: Portrait III
The sky is pretty well-handled, although grain can be seen, particularly toward the horizon.
This may be a problem with your post-processing. The straight on angle means that her body is cut by the white lines created by the water, which is a problem. A different camera angle would have been better. As a portrait the major problem is the shadows, particularly around the eyes. The answer for that is either a reflector or a flash with high speed sync.

Re: Portrait III
I love your portraits Willem!
This is a great portrait (as usual). I'm so glad to see your posting on PR again. Please keep it up. I learn so much viewing your work.
Great job.
