[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
...continuing with my posting of people collection. I know this one is a stark contrast to the first in the series, but the intention is to show people from all walk of life, rather than to stick to one subject.

(For all those who asked, this is the face behind my earlier post 'eyes that say')

(PP-coverted to B & W, then used color balance to get the blue tint. Slight curve adjusment and cropped to fit, contrast, framed.)

I love the extreme over exposure and the over contrast. Your composition works very well. I little tight at the top but minor if anything.

Cheers!

Ben.

Hi Noel!
This is a remarkable delicate portrait. It's strongest side is the b/w solution. Here come also the bluish tint, the reflection, the overeposure! And the model - if last, but not least... Perfect work!
Anton

Excellent work Noel. Stark it maybe but it does nothing to hide the beauty of the model. Well captured, well composed and well converted. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ' holySheet’

Hello Noel,

Astonishhed! wonderful presentation, the colors and details are perfect.
A true billboard.
Greetings!


Sergio

A great base shot and excellent work on the post processing - the blue tint is well achieved and the high contrast approach brings attention strongly to her eyes and mouth, which are such essential features of her beauty.
Very well done, great work!
Rew

Hi Noel!
Delicated portrait! Lovely effect of postprocessing, and beauty model too.
TFS

Hi Noel,

WOW! Beautiful girl and portrait!!! Nice idea to use a B&W look! I also like the blurry effect, as it makes her face and skin look softer!

Very well done
Constantinos

Hi Noel,
A wonderful portrait, very beautiful model, and very effective pp work. Best wishes. Danilo

i like the tones chosen here noel :)
i think it works well with your composition
excellent sharpness and details

points later :) all used up :)

Good overexposed shot with a very stylish frame. The reflection of a girl seems to bother me a little (I think it could have worked even better without it), but I like the overall composition.
