Nice portrait, though I wish her body was lit up more.

This is spiritual. What a piece of artwork. I love everything about it, the color, angle, lighting ? Beautiful Subject ? I hope it does well for you this week, I think it will - Gotcha

Beautiful! The composition is like some Pre-Raphaelite painting. The colours are very strong and deep. Soft focus works perfectly. I'm giving it 10 - lisae

could use a bit more negative space on top.
09/19/2002 02:35:00 PM
Artistica takes, good work of study, is a little defocused?, single it is a small perception.

(i'm only making quick comments for scores 8+, sorry)
Very artistic image...the soft focus gives the sense that it's a painting. Nice lighting. very dramatic and sensual. she has a very natural beauty. I like the location...it's different. The neg space absolutely impacts the subject. Great work 9

etheral and lovely

Like it. Like the lighting.
09/17/2002 08:17:00 PM
Where did you go to take this shot?? I would love to have a similar pic of myself. It's very ethereal and medieval at the same time. Excellent lighting. You might want to selectively use unsharp mask on the face after the challenge. Too bad I don't have the red hair so mine would never be as good :o) Please let me know the details. 9 ~indigo997

bravo !

wow... grace is beautiful :) This looks like a portrait that I would expect to see as one of those huge oil paintings hanging along a winding staircase in a mansion somewhere... the light on her face makes me wonder what she is looking at... the most intriguing piece of this photo for me is the soft focus. This is a perfect example of how soft focus should be used... did you focus this way or did you use a soft filter? I would love to hear more about how this was done :) = 10 - jmsetzler

Say nothing - just look... (10+++++++) Totally awesome...

Great lighting and colour, a little soft but lends well to the photo.
09/16/2002 07:00:00 PM
lovely...reminds me of an album cover, but i can't remember which one....in any case, good job and good luck.
09/16/2002 04:08:00 PM
angelic. great lighting.
09/16/2002 12:16:00 PM
Absolutely fantastic lighting! I love it! Plus it has MY name...lol It has a very painterly quality. Even the model's ALMOST smile is good, and the pose is fne. So far my favorite. I think I might have said this to someone else, but that was before I saw this one. Wonderful, wonderful job! Good luck in the challenge. Grayce aka Gracious

maybe i'm off but i get a religious feeling from this - nice work! 7 sgtpepper6344

Good neg spc; love the color of her hair; the soft focus is great and works well for this photo; her position, to me, feels odd, though I cannot put my finger on just why that is. Overall a lovely shot. lhall-7
