In your face!

Another shot from my shoot with Sam.

In your face all right! Very well done as usual. Nice shallow depth of field. I imagine you have experimented with different crops of this.

Damn ... this is so damn good ... but, (the big but), for my eye you have too much gray going on in the upper right. I'd burn it in to balance out the lower left or maybe a square crop. I love this shot.

Very, very good GD.

Thank you and yes. Also different colour processes and stuff.

I was wondering about that myself. I did darken it quite a bit but by that time my eyes were going square and I thought I'd put it up for comment to see what others thought (without mentioning it). Thanks Gary, your feedback is appreciated.

Very, very good GD.

Thanks Rick.

The man is on fire. Wonderful image

 

[Granddad]

As suggested by Gary A:
1) Burned and/or 2) square crop

Very nice! Great edit too!

I like the third version of this the most of any of the ones presented.

Powerful. That's quite a model you're working with - so many different moods and looks. Your photography (and processing) is no slouch either.

Thanks Cauzimme, coming from you that's high praise indeed.

I agree Derrel, Garry A got it right. The hive mind of TPF!

Thanks! She's a veterinary nurse, she did a shoot with someone a few years ago but she left that feeling inadequate as he was used to working with pro models. She's really good to work with, she has more looks than I've shown so far. Quite a lot of rejects proportionally but when she hits it right the results are stunning.

That is a great shot!

You are turning out some stellar work my friend! Wonderful image, and that last edit nails it!

 

[Gary A.]

oooooohhhh ... square!

 

[Gary A.]

And those RED lips ... amazing.
