Still trying to capture portrait of Bali dancer who does performance at lunch time . .
It is against bright BG . . and tried spot metering on her face . . no additional equipment to control the lights . .

Hope you like it . .

Crop, some clean up on the BG (sorry not expert yet doing this), add frame and resize . .

Cheers,
Tjutjut

Very nice expression...

Hi Tjutjut
The spot metering worked well, you've created an excellent background simply through exposure (ok, and some PP.)
Entertaining shot, I would have liked to see all of her headdress. Priceless expression.

Good shot Tjutjut well lighted and good colors. You are missing a bit on the top though. I don't like the background, but the lovely lady compensates a lot.

Hi Bro,

Great composition. Excellent details and great shot. I love the traditional Balinese clothing that she is wearing...

Just lovely Tjutjut.

Indeed the last bit of BG colours has to go, or you must leave more (blurred BG) colour, then that is okay as well.
So I made you a WS - really simple to remove what you don't want (took me a month to figure it our, but now I know it is easy ^-^).

Hello my dear friend

Wonderfulbright cheerful capture here, nice nd sharp and i love the angle of the shot,small shame the top of the flowers is cut.. or maybe not as it gives an intersting angle to the shot.Lovely framing.

TFS regards Helen

Hi dear friend,
great posting. Full of beautiful colors and details. I like the brightness in it. It has something special... maybe the look in her eyes, maybe her posture, ...or maybe your talent for taking photos :)
Best wishes and happy X-mas!

Hi Tjutjut,
I love this one, she's so pretty and interesting. Bali is such a mystical iland - also the culture there, I was very impressed to see the dancers and the wonderful temples.

beautiful and sharp portrait tjutjut.. well done

Very good effort Tjutjut.
I like portraits with such a clean BG as you have here.
Well done. Best regards, Daniel

hi Mas Tjutjut,

cuman masalah di cropingnya aja sih, yang lainnya untuk kategori snap shot, hasil ini sudah baik sekali, mungkin akan lebih baik kalau sedikit terlihat tangan dan badannya jadi kita bisa membayangkan situasi dan gerakan penarinya.

kalau untuk lighting, setelah di croping dan diganti dengan BG putih, harusnya contrasnya aga lebih dinaikin dikit supaya jadi terkesan lighting di studio dan bentukan dimensi objectnya jelas.
