Just a Portrait

[Diana G]

I really like this photo. The emotion you are portraying is something I can't quite put my finger on, it's good though. I've always been fond of the black and white photography.

I like your portray, but this picture is really accurate, you know,
-> I think it would look better without hair.....which makes the face a little messy.....you know what I mean?

I would (personally) take hair away from the face and cropt the tree a ltlle.
Overall, it's COOL! I like it

I think if you had the eyes more of the focal point, by having them in sharper focus and putting some light into them, it would've made this photo significantly more interesting. As mentioned before, its as if there is no connection between the model and the camera. This is not a bad photo though at all, it is a good portrait Keep shooting :thumbup:

I LOVE IT!

Missed it when it first came around so I'm glad dab_20 posted today.

Yes, we have seen similar images before but isn't this true of just about every other photo out there? And in this case, I have to say that all the different elements work very well together.

Tones (although I think a bit more contrast wouldn't hurt), depth of field, composition and, a very pretty girl (although that is very subjective.)

Digital and the the darn rules of portraiture have told us we want the eyes (or eye in this case) sharper but, imo, not here.

Hi ksven,

This grabbed my attention as soon as I saw it.

B&W great choice and fits her slightly apprehensive expression. Good DOF and composition. Would make a good frame from a creepy movie - is she hiding, or about to spring on someone? Gosh I've got carried away. Sorry, but I reckon I've not said anything you want to hear. Mind you, if I'm way off the mark as to what you were trying to achieve, maybe you've slipped up. No offence meant.

ksven, did you take this in colour or B&W?
