Hi Zoe,

Nice portrait. I like this over-exposed b&w, with a touch of colours in lips and eyes (b&w or desaturated colours? doesn't matter, wonderful). Nice pose and nice model. Well PP worked.

tfs,

ferran

hello Zoe,
Yes, the hair here is quite fantastic with the tousled look and the different highlights giving it definition against the rest of mainly high key image.
The slightly colored lips and eye add a nice sublte touch to your expression.
That look in your eye is quite engaging especially with that small glint/gleam in your eye.
Great pose adding a nice sensualness to the shot along with the hair, lips and eye.
Very interesting piece of artistry.
Great self portrait and processing.

take care,
~Michael~

ps. I have an idea for a Workshop with cropping. I'll try to upload in the next day or so if possible.

Tres hot Zoe. I wish I could do a shot like that for you! lol. I think a partial crop would help. Great stuff.

Are you sure Zoe, about your age...
This photo seems to be produced by someone rather mature (...and I mean in photography field).
Great work. (and matured, shall I add?).

It's intense! Powerfull hair composition with nice arrangement for the face with just a subtile touch of color where it needs. The so white effect is greatfull!

Beautiful potrait

I really like the contrasts here, also how you've left a tiny bit of colour left in her lips and eyes.

Nice work ;)

Great work, Zoe! The high-key parts agains your dark hair is really great! However a tighter crop may work as well! Just like Michael's :) See workshop! Congrats for the pic!
cheers

Well done young man, this is quite an evocative image, and I like it! Remember the rule that eludes me at the moment; however it has something to do with not being seduced by the central point of focus, so with this photograph the model should have been positioned a tadge more to the left.

Hi Zoe,

Sensational self-portrait, I love the the use of black and white with a tinge of colour. The photo seems to portray both innocence and intrigue, and even an artistic freedom! This is honestly one of the best portraits I've seen, and I usually don't like excessively photo-shopped photos, but you really had a good hand at crafting this shot into what it is. And yes your hair really does look great in the shot especially with those slight specs of light on it, which adds to the intrigue part of the shot, tousled hair suits you. :)

Great work!

Biance.

This is an excellent Portrait. Your post processing work is brilliant. Well done.
I'm sorry that I ran out of points already. Thanks for the hair tip; I'll pass it on to my two daughters.
Beautiful model.

Very well done Zoe...I love the look on your face, you are not only a good photographer, you are a good model.
The lighting, colours, desaturation all work very well together.

i agree with everything biance has said about this photo, at first, it seems like a 'topless' shot... but then i read about the bra and how you erased it, you have done it very intelligently and with elegance :) i mean its not looking cheap, its rather looking like a fine art, almost-nude self portrait :)

the post processing is well done, i like blacks to be blacks and whites white in b/w photos :) you've managed that very well here :)

on top of all these, i love the workshop by biance :) and of course, your note :)

keep up the good work :) do more black and whites, pratice more photos with little post processing :)

thanks for sharing :)
