I don't think your model is entirely into this shooting session.

Nice shot of what appears not to be a happy camper

Ken, I'm not so certain she was going to let you take a second frame!!! Beautiful light.

What a sweetheart. Love those eyes. I do like the painterly effect you used here.

I love this beautiful image. The high key and the simplify combine to make it a sensitive and gentle portrait.

Nice high key portrait. I like that it's a bit soft. Great expression.

I love the way you framed her and her moody little pout.

As a beginner, may I ask how/why you duplicate the layer in screen and then in multiply and fade? Please feel free to PM me as I am trying to learn as much as possible and I really like your b & w portraits. I would like to get better pictures of my twin sons. Thanks.

this lovely soft capture is perfect for Cartesia i understand how difficult it is to capture family members so your opportunity was not wasted.

just great i really like this in B&W as a color it may distract from her
the eyes tho not super sharp doesnt draw away from her and as stated before her mood helps kick the pic up anothe r level

well done
