Hi John

Nice sharp candid image colours good just wonder if you have taken the shot from the best angle perhaps more from the front? also I wonder if a more severe or radical crop would help this omage if this is the best angle see w/s

Hello Marina

Nice portrait of a very attractive girl, but in my opinion the lighting could have been softer, Bulwant ois correct a small reflector in front of her low down would take the harshness from the shadow under her chin. Possibly asking her to turn her head to the left slightly would also help compositionally, I also think you have to include a slightly longer view to include the left hand or ask her to bring her left arm upwards.
As the necklace forms such a large part of the photo compositionally I have converted it to mono to see what effect this had on the elements in the photo.
Hope you don't mind
Kenny

Hi John
Very nice shot, like the slight compression caused by the slight tele-photo lens setting, perhaps more use could have been made of the polarising filter. The sky in my opinion should be darkened slightly as its a tad washed out
Have posted a mono version

Hi Tom
Nice shot of the old Abbey, excellent view, nice colours well captured, wonder if a closer crop to left hand side would help? just a thought

Hello Bryan
Just found your pictures, this shot grabbed my attention, nice attempt at a mono conversion,but your shot lacks contrast. I see you used greyscale to convert, try using the chanell mixer if available on your version of PSP
Have done a w/s which takes the contrast to the other extreme so that you can compare, would be interested to know what you think

Hi Milan
Looked through your gallery and liked this portrait, The lighting on the face possibly is slightly harsh but if this is a candid shot then there is nothing you can do about it. The warm light adds to the shot

Hello Bob
Very interesting shot almost a posterization type effect, very 60ish but a very different approach to an every day event
You have posted something very different well done
