Helena Selbach B&W

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
This is Helena, my wife, in B&W. The photo was taken inside the Osaka Aqualiner, a tourism river cruise ship on the Okawa and Neyagawa River in Osaka. The roof of this boat descends about 1/3 of its height making the boat flat enough to pass underneath some bridges.
I manually increased the aperture as an attempt to boost the sharpness on the texture of her skin. Not sure if this is the right way to do it, but it was sort of my intuition. Later I increased the sharpness a little more in Lightroom and adjusted contrast, exposure, and overall tone curve seeking for the perfect grey tones. |

I like the way you framed this photo, leaving only a part of the face in. Somehow, combined with shallow DOF it all works. I just have got the impression that your wife knew she was posing and the smile looks bit artificial (my personal impression).
Hi Rodrigo. Good portrait and good sharp but grey is little predominantly. Well done anyway.
