DIOSA, This is Eva, the goddess of Eden, she has extremely beautiful and flawless skin tone and her smile is radiant :)

This was my first photoshoot together w/ some TL members. I only had the built-in flash so I had to locate a POV that won't create much visible shadows on the background. The lighting was set-up by Andy. We had lots of fun and shared laughs and lots, it was one of my farewell parties, we slept around 4AM and continued shooting the next day. :)

Composition:
Model: NIKON D200
Exposure Time: 10/130 sec
F-Stop: f/4.8
ISO Speed Ratings: 100
Focal Length: 48 mm
Metering Mode: Pattern
Flash: Strobe return light not detected

Pp work:
1. crop, stamp, liquify, and sharpen
2. create border and resize

See WS for another version. I used Marco's technique for the BG, tell me what you think is better :)

sharp portrait shot, lightings are soft and good in my opinion and you did capture her in a corrct POV, keeping her natural tonal color.TFS.

Hi Fred.Beautiful young girl and beautiful picture.
Best regards, Bosko.

Not bad work Freddie - she's very pretty and your POV certainly gives her the elevation of a goddess, as does her pose.
The lighting is good overall, you're right that built-in flash isn't the ideal for this kind of shot, its reflection on her nose, cheeks, and jewellery distracts a little from the shot - but the colours here are beautiful, the background is excellent, and the mood overall is fun.
Magaling!

Hai Fred,
Beautiful young girl and beautiful picture.Excellent use of the light
Very good POV.
Thanks for your visit and comments, have a nice day,TFS
Best regards.

Excellent photo, Freddie and a great note to go with it. I thought the original shot is the best, the other would be for some type of video intro or something similar. TFS. The orange is an interesting choice and complements her nicely.

i like the light from the back, it puts great tone on her face.

Fred, of course I will tell you ! :-)
I find the BG in the WS better :
more contrast between BG and the skin of the goddess
With only your build-in flash you did a great job !

Hello Freddie, she's got a lovely smile. I really like the warmth in the colours and her expression. Her pose is very good too and you arranged the lighting well. Lovley shot.

wow...this looks good. the colors are just right and her pose is just perfect.

Good choice for the color in the background: warm, festive, radiant, luminosity with active energy, complementing the beauty of the smiling girl. TFS

Freddy,
Very special, great idea and well composed!
TFS
