i feel so ashamed when today i log on to tl and saw that my last photo was posted more than 2 years ago...how did time just slip away?

how did i let my passion disappear as i lose direction, as i aimlessly float around, looking for a meaning....for a reason to be.....

so.....i promise to myself...i will begin again, to post and to be active again...for i missed the old friends here....i feel guilty for no longer being an active member....i hope it's not too late to be back:)

photo taken : by me
model : Federica
location : Consonno, Italy

just an afternoon out...my first time shooting portrait after 2 years of idling....C&C would be very appreciated.....thank you.

Hi Eleen,

I don't know you since I've been a member for a short time.

Your photo is amazing, I love the colours and exquisite lighting, all very pleasing.

Nice to have you back!!!!

Regards

karen

Hello Eleen,

In life it is never too late for anything.
We can start, restart and try again all that we are able to imagine and desire.
So, be welcome again!

(*) Fantastic shot!;o)

Apa Kabar eleen?

Good to see you back. I like the high pov & shallow dof. Perfect sharpness on the female model, but I would shrink the text, & place it in a less conspicuous location in the image. Tfs!

Hi Eleen,
this is the best portrait I've seen this far on TL. it sets a class apart in terms of realization and final presentation; very moody, very atmospherical, enhanced if possible even more by the dark tones that surround the model...the light is simply stunning revealing only part of the face, of the arm and the hand of the girl..perfect management of the dof. I love this shot!
What kind of technique have you used for the post processing? (if you want to share this kind of info, of course).
Regards,

Ele

What a way to come back! With this piece or art. Filled with mood; intense feelings, mysterious/mystic, and even a hit of danger. Highly expressive colors; good texture and highlights. TFS

Boa tarde
Very intense and with a interesting mood
My regards

Very nice job here Eleen

Your work was an inspiration to me and it's good to see you back. This shot has a very professional feel to it, the green-hued colour temperature, the roughness of location vs. the warm skin tones of your model.

Hair and makeup are well done!

I'm not entirely sure about the cropped hand at the top of the frame, but in all respects still this is an eyecatching and dramatic shot!

Hi Eleen, stunning shot! wow. The location, the lighting, the colors, her expression and makeup ... it all makes for a very dramatic and interesting shot. Great job.

HI Eleen
Powerful, theatrical and well done.
You could rotate the test and fit it on her arm while reducing the transparancy a bit that way if someone steals it they would have to do quite a lot of work to it.

hi Eleen

I jumped to your gallery here from TE [where I am still waiting for your latest post]. So you study in Italy?

2 yrs ago, I was not even on TL yet :) Good to see your posts again here.

I think this is very creative portrait shot with the style that is not often found here. This portrait reminds me of the color tone and setting of the movie Matrix.

Impressive work. Other than the crop of hand at the top and the blur hand at the other. Perhaps use a higher f/stop?

tfs, bill
