HI Tjutjut! I love this type of processing! There is a lady on this site that does this marvelously! I may post a pic of the Bride and her grandaughter this next week, using this process! It's one of my favorite!
Check out this lady: Here

I love what you have done Tjutjut, you can still see her bright smile, but the emphasis is on her eyes.
As far as I am concerned a great job.

TFS and have a great weekend,

Awesome shot Tjutjut! This is very eyecatching from the white and black tones. Perfect details and great off-centering!

Whew ... this is a hard critique for me to make because after all the wonderful praise you have given my shots, my sense of loyalty says I should tell you this is great.

At the risk of hurting your feelings, though, I have to say it doesn't quite work for me, and I think the problem isn't your processing of the shot - it's the original image itself.

Unfortunately, your focus locked on her far eye, or at least the bridge of her nose, leaving the near side of her face, and her head-dress, out of focus. In my opinion that is reason enough to shrug and say "oh well" and delete the shot and simply try again.

I also don't think the composition or crop suits the subject, and the angle of her face isn't so flattering - her nose competes with her cheek, her eyes are viewed too much from the side; either her face should be more towards the camera, or the shot should be more in profile.

The high-key approach is an interesting one, although I have to say that the egg-coloured frame doesn't suit it either, nor the faux bevelled edge outside that.

In short mate - I'm really really sorry, but I have to give this one a bad smiley. I'm glad you had the courage to share it though.

Your "line drawing" is a great improvement over the original. Just goes to show that someone with skill and imagination can take an average picture and make it into a fine piece of art. BRAVO!

I very much like the results, Tjutjut. Her eyes really are worthy of all the attention here. Her beautiful head gear takes from that focus in the coloured version. I really think your experiment created a beautiful result. Very well done indeed.
Warm Regards

I like b/w for the purpose that it makes one concentrate on details rather than the vividness of a color. This is beautifully done and may I say wow! those are some gorgeous lashes. I like your pov. TFS

Hi Tjutjut,

Very interesting experiment, artistic too, it look great, you have done well in this photo. I can't really tell you what to do with the portrait as I myself is not pro.. lol, however for me I think if you can change the colours of the frame from Cream to white, it will be more effective, that's just my personal thought. :D Hope you don't mind.


Have a great weekend,

Cheers,
Sweety

An experiment well carried out Tjutjut. There are so many variations of BW with outlines that any would have sufficed. What I like most of all is that the highlights around her eyes have remained and of course, that smile. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Tamar Tides V’

This is a lovely composition. Thanks for telling us how you did it. I am also just starting to experiment with High key but I still have a long way to go to get the quality that you have here. It is beautiful!
