Pretty in Pink

I like the earlier one from this series better as well... one pointer would be to watch the light in the other eye... either bring the light around a touch or turn her face into the light just a bit o get rid of that shadow in her left eye.

Hey Don and Deann,

Sorry to be late on this one. I like the idea of this image, but the darkness and shadows on Deann's face bug me here. I know it had been suggested to you that you should try more dramatic lighting, but I'm not sure it has the desired effect here. The lighting is kind of dark and moody, but the pose, clothing, and expression suggest something more lighthearted. Seems to me that a little flatter lighting on her face would work better.

Also, the attention of the viewer will tend to go to the brightest and sharpest portion of an image. Here, the attention is drawn straight to her chest. That's OK, I guess, as her chest is certainly worth looking at. However, it might also be OK to be a bit more subtle.

Not that I can say anything from a position of superior skill. The thing that I don't like about the following image is the uneven light on Heather's face.



BTW, I wish I could talk my wife into posing for me once in a while. She hates it. Don, you are truly a lucky man.

Larry I think your right about the lighting on this one...during post that shadow on her face was really bugging me....why it bothered in this one...and not the first of the series I dont know...Im going to post them both here again..so we can see them together ..see exactly what the difference is...
Don. Isnt funny how one little move or pose change can make or break an image?

I'd pose for my boyfriend if he wanted me to - but he's too busy posing for everyone else.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Don.

See, I think all the elements fall together better in the first image here. Nice job.
