I like all the shots in your portfolio but this is the one that captured my attention above all the rest. It's an excellent high key photo and the model is very beautiful. Many people have commented on the eye and I agree, it is perfect. Did you sharpen it in PS? Also your DOF looks like it may have been worked in PS. Blur in front and behind the main subject would be almost impossible in a shot like this. Anyway, you did a great job here.

Werner van den Oudenhoven   {K:207} 4/23/2003
A classic "High Key" photo. Technical: a bit too much "USM" (resampling noise?) and DOF not optimal, especially in the region of the lips. Well done.

This is beautiful. I love high-key photos. Actually the only photo I have posted here so far is a high-key one if you want to have a look.

This is such a simple yet effective composition. I love the 'slighly from below' perspective here.

Would you care to share some technical details?

Btw - this is the first 'favorite' that I'm adding to me :-)

Love the composition on this image and the detail and focus of the eye are perfect..... but i find for a hi-key shot it is a bit hot. IMHO there should still be some texture shown in the hat on upper left and a bit more definition between the models nose and mouth from the background. I think if the lighting was adjusted a little on this one or possibly corrected in the darkroom this could be corrected and would make for an even stronger image. Great shot none the less *smile*...

I like this photo because it is simple, and direct. There are no distractions. Your use of overexposure is excellent. The angle is terrific, the focus is perfect. This is a perfect photo...IMHO.
