A pink smile from outer space

Yesterday evening I went down town Haarlem for dinner, but not without my handy Sony Cyber-Shot :-)

Strolling through the city A encountered a lot of youngster going downtown Harlem or Amsterdam. I left the city by train and on the train platform I saw three young people dressed in Gothic clothing. They looked marvelous with their leather cloaks and jackets, the vibrant coloured hair and their very weird but stunning looking lenses. I asked the kids if it was alright to take some pictures and if it was OK if I put them on interne. Well particular the pink young lady was quite enthusiast and they all agreed. So I took some portrait picture of the three, with this nice smiling pink young lady as eye catcher. In the WS you find a groups portrait of the three. After the photo shoot they entered the train to Amsterdam. I'm sure they had a good time!

PP work:

Removed with clone tool some annoying background lights, smoothened the skin on nose and cheek due flash impact. Slight crop and add frame and text. No adjustment of saturation, contrast or brightness.

Wow,
very unusual portrait!:D
well done,
Thanks Hans,

Armel.

I'm glad you've upgraded your camera equipment ;-)

Lovely street shot, Hans, and a good nore to accompany the image. This is an interesting shot, the girl has obviously spent a lot of time on her appearance and she seems really comfortable with herself and her look - those lenses are pretty special, maybe i'll get a pair like that :-)

Good shot, big fella!

Hi Hans

Very smart but over all an excellent combination of pink color on this very well framed picture.Well done.

Best Regards

Hi Hans

A creative image, whether shot, as is, or pp enhanced. Good colour, sharpness, & framing, and a fun shot. I like the radioactive goggles. Tfs!

Hi Hans,
Very good portrait shot indeed ... well captured. I like her smile and colorful costume. Well composed with good resulting image quality. Tfs
Cheers,
Renier

Thanks for your kind words on "FUTURE SINGER"

Hmmmm a new girlfriend perhaps?? She seems a bit young don't you think Hansie? Should you not get a woman your own age? HAHA!....how cool! Nice close up, really nice and sharp and her eyes are mesmerizing..... do you have a matching pair??
B-)

Tjees, wat een eng gedoe met die ogen !!
Ik draag contactlenzen, en dit zal wel net zoiets zijn, maar hierbij vraag ik me af of het gevaarlijk is.
Mooi vastgelegd. Mooi zoals het hoofd uit de donkere achtergrond steekt ! Goed gedaan jochie. Goeie note ook.
groeten,
Joop!

hi hans, ok she looks different! neat shot, great colors and a lot of fun to look at,
tfs,
scott

What a great interesting portrait I love it!!! The ws pics I have so gotta get a pair of those boots! Those contacts are great.My brother usually sticks with one blue and one brown and gets a laugh from the double/ triple looks. TFs

Ja prachtig Hans... die kleuren springen er zeker uit..
Je hebt ze toch wel verteld WAAR ze de foto's kunnen terugvinden op internet he??

Prachtig hoe de jongelui zich uitdossen... mijn nichtje is ook helemaal Gothic! Het klinkt misschien wel heel stom, maar ik vind dit ECHT leuk! Daar komt nog bij, dat ook de muziek me heel erg aanspreekt.... heerlijk!

Goed portret hoor!

Anneke

LOL!!!!
Have you been abducted by aliens????
Did they perform strange operations on you????
Did they transform your Nikon to a Canon????

Excellent capture.
She does look very comfortable with her look.

Merhaba myfriend Dear HANS,...
verynice work and pov..superb colors and portrait..bravo..selamlar

Hans gaat portretten doen, maar dan gelijk goed en h e l e m a a l anders!

Ontzettend leuk, erg eng die lenzen met dat hagedissen pupil. Die jongeman moet toch wel erg ongemakkelijk lopen - of zie ik dat verkeerd?

Hoi Hans,

Mooi portret van deze gothic lady. Goed van je om je PS camera mee te nemen. Begrijp nog steeds niets van deze sub-cultuur maar creatief zijn ze wel...en dat bewijst deze foto ook.

Groeten,

Edwin

Hi Hans.
Wat een gedurfde opmaak, maar wel heel bijzonder. ook erg mooi vast gelegd. Een plekje in de galerij zal niet misstaan.

Hi Hans,
Good shot,very nice smile.

Hi Hans, You have found one hot chickie babe here. It was fortunate she is a little out-going and was keen to have the photo. This is a very modern get-up, makes me feel a little bit like a fossil! TFS. Murray.

This is such a fun shot, Hans! It puts a big smile on my face :D
Technically: the capture is crisp and clear; your PP work is invisible and really enhances the image; the framing is not overpowering, but adds more to the whole

Wow, Hans, I am really lost for words. Outer space is a good way to describe it, hopefully by looking at it more closely, I still can sleep well tonight! Nice colors!

TFS, bill

Love the pp work!!! One thing I would have done differently: I would have left straight the irises, their diagonal current position seems a bit unnatural. Otherwise, GREAT pic and presentation!
Best regards,
Diana
p.s. tomorrow :(

WEll this is certainly more Goth than down here Hans. A lovely smile and pretty hair but I am not sure about the clothing or the lenses. Excellent street captures regardless and TFS,
