Thanks a lot! It was really hard (mostly for her of course) to get the expression and feel that I wanted. As the perfectionist I am, we took a total of 127 photos of the same face and tears with the same lighting and settings. But finally I got this one shot that I really liked. I'm glad she didn't give up!
What ever happened to the "my dog is dead" thoughts. Although good work I would not have picked them as fake at all. As much as I don't like the subject the photo is great.
if you can, id love to see a zoomed in picture of just her eyes. they are really beautiful and i think, if done properly, you can really accent the yellow/orange that outlines her pupil.
My only comment would be to go easier on the tears. I think the expression and the whole photo is fantastic except for this one thing. When I looked at the pic I knew you used water. Some times less is more.
