It was six o'clock p.m...the sun was still shining...the warm light was playing with my skin...a gentle wind playing with my hair...love these summer afternoons...
About pp work, just did some adjustments(levels, contrast,color..) aplied a warm filter and diffuse glow.
Hope you like it.

Wow! you are very beautiful! I am glad you are posting again. A very cool idea! I like the circular spots of light on you. Really add a nice touch. Yet your eyes are still masked by the shadow which is also very nice. Beautiful job. Keep posting self portraits. ;) lol
Sorry out of points today. I will add tomorrow. JP

I like it very much. Well taken. Were you holding the camera? TFS,

Glen

Very nice salute to the sun! I love it too! One afternoon i just put myself on the warm beton of a building, and did absolutely nothing. Just appréciate the moment as i listen music...
I like the details of the light here!

Olá Raquel. Gosto da composição e do jogo de luz e sombras. Fico na dúvida quanto à utilização do diffuse glow, mas é óbviamente uma questão de gosto pessoal. Adoro também as tardes de verão, claro está, mas por aqui o verão já acabou há muito...

Good idea - I like your use of DOF here, your face is sharp but your hands, shoulders etc. are blurry, it gives some dpeth to the photo. The composition with the sunlight effect is also good.

Great portrait with lovely sun spots.
Your PP work also professional.
Diffuse glow makes the light soft and impressive , especially on the lips.
Brava...

Hi Raquel,

Did you take a similar shot with the same lighting with a piano? It reminds me of it.
It's a very nice idea. If it was more colourful, I would have got a groovy feeling to it. It's still nevertheless a very nice shot! Bravo!

Most interesting lighting. Lovely skin tones and a serene look on your beautiful face. I like the way your hair curls up a little there, a natural feeling to this, also like someone has done the work, as in does not give the feeling of a self portrait. Beautiful. Thanks. Let summer be within us always, a light shinning for warmth and a freedom to blossom.

Excellent use of lighting Raquel. B

fantastic work raquel!! i luv it.

Hello Raquel... I like this, I do like this... The lighting is impressive, and I think it makes your skin and your lips attractive; warm tones also support that...

Hi Raquel,
Beautiful play of lights :) You've caught the mood very well.
Nice! :)
cheers

Parabéns... A foto está repleta de orginalidade... Transmite tranquilidade e suavidade graças ao trabalho de pós-produção que está bastante bom... Um leve sopro do verão que caminha para o fim... Beijos

Linda a foto Raquel,
Luzes estavam prefeitas e voce as capturou bem.
Pose suave a bem feminina. So um ponto. Por ai voce poderia ter aplicado um blur para dar ainda mais suavidade a pele. Nao que precise, pois a fot esta perfeita, mas e so uma sugestao para a proxima vez ;)
parabens!

Tudo de bom, Stef

:))) smile for you!

Hi Raquel,
