Hola Alejandra: me gusta esta imagen por la composición circular-elíptica de estas piedras con las líneas laterales. Si me preguntáras que le agregaría, a mi parecer podría tener una poca más profundidad de campo, pero así como está mantiene la atención en el punto de impacto.

I do not find the background here distracting in any way, Alejandra. This is an excellent street shot, where the guitars clearly stand out because of their color and the over all design. The darker background complements the guitars, while adding interesting textures and shapes.

Sweet photo, Alejandra. But, you asked for feedback, so I will tell you exactly how I feel about how you could improve it.
I think the model would look more comfortable in a simpler background. It does not seem to suit her wardrobe. It looks like a stable and the ground is wet.
Her hair is attractively styled, but it is blending in. And the flash on your camera is causing a little shine. If you like available light shoot early or late in the day when the sun is lower and the light is more flattering and you won't need the fill in flash.
You got a good response from your model, you just need to focus attention on her a little better and isolate her from the distractions.
Good luck, Leora

There's so much to say about it! :) The ruins of Ek Balam are in Yucatan, Mexico. Ek Balam means black jaguar. I'm going to link you to an article: http://www.playa.info/playa-del-carmen-info-mayan-ruins-of- ek-balam.html
Enjoy!

Hi Alejandra,,
When you open and edit Jpeg you lose image quality as opposed to Tiff.You can print from Tiff.This is my work flow but because I used the same camera for IR and birds and don`t like changing the settings I shoot to accomodate both.
But if shooting IR only...
ISO 200,WB,,,Flourescent+3 or custom WB with the R72 FILTER on,Low contrast,low sharpening.Hue -9
RAW mode.
photoshop
create an action
Auto levels
Channel Mixture output channel RED
Red from 100 to 0 bLUE from 0 to 100
output channel Blue
Red from 0 to 100
Blue from 100 to 0
hit enter or ok
stop action
Color Balance play around with the sliders until you get what you want.
HUE/SATURATION,,,this setting will gives you blue skies and white vegetation,manipulate the various colors for more precise controls.Going -all the way in hue/sat will gives you b&w but Channel mixture with MONOTONE BOX check will give you better image.Curves will give you weird colrs but don`t over do it.Brightness/contrast to your liking.Sharpen or soften as you wish.
When shooting Raw to convert to Jpeg
IMAGE/MODE/8BIT and save as Jpeg.
You can use your normal camera setup for IR as I am doing now.I normally shoot in manual mode at f8-11.If there is dark areas try EV +.3 or .7
if the sky is overexpose EV-.Hope this helps.
Take care
Robbie

Robert- Thanks for your comment and helpful tips. I truely appreciate it. I would love to know your work flow. Also, what's the benefit to saving Tiff vs. jpg? If you are going to print pics, do you have to convert to jpg anyway?

Lovely tones Alejandra,love it!!
I won`t critisize you for cutting off the top of the building because you can`t see thru the filter plus it`s only a test shot.B&W conversion is the easy part,hope you are using the Channel Mixter.If you are interested in doing color let me know so I can give you my work flow.
The D70 for IR is as good as it gets.Just noticed your exposure which I find surprisingly slow for the D70.I normally shoots at f8-11 at ISO 200 on a tripod.With PS CS why don`t you shoot in RAW and save your image in Tiff not Jpeg.
Take care and congrats on a very nice work.
Robbie

Thanks Robert! I appreciate your comment. Can you give me a suggestion on how to avoid wash out in IR?
My work flow is shoot in color JPG- PS CS- convert to grayscale-- adjust levels-- brighness/contrast if needed-- save copy as jpg.
Can't wait to get to know the other IR photographers.

Awesome first try Alejandra,with IR the clouds adds beauty to the image.Lovely composed image,the foreground a little wash out BUT I am guilty of that too so no big problem as far as I am concern.The important thing is that there one more IR photographer here.
Interesting in knowing your work flow.
Take care Robbie
