[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello Friends,
Here is another shot from my last session.
Julia needed a couple of good photos. I just had to help her.
Hope You like it....

PS.
As for post processing.
1. Desaturation by 75%
2. Playing with Exposure ( all three parameters)
3. Darkening everything but Juliya
4. Adding grains and black bars.
That's it

P.P.S. The day was not sunny at all, so I was using flash, bouncing it from the walls where possible.

Hi Siarhei..glad to have you with us again.....this is a nice shot..I like the composition better than yesterday...the grain is interesting. I think I may have left the subject without it and just used it on the background...but the effect here is interesting and different...nice work.

The partial desaturation is nicely done and effective.

Nicely composed portrait, the desat works well. I think the grain is too much though.
Anyhow, nice photo,
David

Очень красивые тоны. Улыбка Юлии озаряет всю фотографию :) Может поменьше зерна..?

Hello Siarhei
The composition and framing are excellent but to me, there is too much noise. In traditional photographym we used to avoid grain (noise). adding a little bit of it can be interesting but on the face of your subject, I don't think it is a good idea. It is only my opinion.

Hi Biazberdy,

Superb portrait,

Beautiful model, great colors and grain effects.

Fantastic shot.

Greetings from Portugal,

Mário

excellent work
Karl

It's a great pose and good eye contact from the model. I agree with the grain being a bit too much - perhaps try it in the BG only. Desat works well though. Regards, TW

This is really nice Siarhei,
your post processing has worked very well here.

Colin
