[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hi all,

Second in the mini series. Same girl, same location, slightly different pose and PoV. Like I said in my previous note I have no experience with portraits, so any suggestions are welcome.

As before, I tried to keep PP work to a minimum. Hence no cropping. I just desaturated, and added a slight contrast boost. And the border, which I couldn't actually decide if it should be there or not.

Anyways hope you like this one, and do let me know if a more imaginative title comes to mind!

Hi.

The portrait is good, the framing is excellent in vertical format, accentuated by the shadow. Light was great too. Well done.

I like the frame. The DoF is great and I particularly like the shadow on the wall. Good portrait, Jako.

Hello Jako, I think I got a nice title for you,
"Teacher on a break" or maybe "recess"

I'm not shure about the spelling on the second one but I think you know what I mean.

* This cut is very nice (just enough room around the subject)
* You should make another crop, don't change the left, right or top and then go down just below the shadow of the cigarette. Then ad the same kind of border and compare..

Tell me what you see, Regards; Francois
