A good dramatic pose here with beautiful tones and excellent detailing, it has a kind of soft look about it but that I find quite pleasing. I just love those fly away strands of hair. Great stuff Paul. Cheers to you.....Ray

Her dress is so bright that skin tones don't dominate, so yeah, I think the B&W works even better, Mark.

Wow, Mark, that's very cool. That creates a whole new vibe in this shot, man. I like it.

 A bit Spooky but I dig it.... |

Like this one but thought there's a little too much face/facial skin (so I worked on it a bit). Needs more work but it did change that situation a bit - what do you think?

Hey, as you know Stace, I am thick-skinned and here to learn and grow. I always accept thoughtful critiques with all the love that is intended - especially yours. Keep it comin' beautiful!

lol sorry Paul :) I know you do the best you can. Like I said, it's still a great shot, I just wish the skin had your usual pop to it.

Oh, way to pile on me, Stace!
Yeah, this shot was dearly loved by model and mother, but was not really in focus, so I had to make me some lemonade, so to speak. ;)~

I have to agree with Julie.. It's probably a combination of the lighting and post-processing, but her skin looks flat.. Usually you have a knack for making your subjects pop.. Making the image look 3-D.. Like you're looking at them through a window instead of on a computer screen.. This is like a picture of a poster..
Don't get me totally wrong, the colors and pose and movement are great.. But I want to FEEL the wind, and it's hard to do that when her skin is so.. unexciting..?

Well, yeah, I used several Kubota Actions that boosted contrast and smoothed the skin, Julie. I resort to that when the shot is not in crisp focus. :(

Love her pose, dress and hair movement but something doesn't seem right about her face...hmmmm maybe over airbrushed? hmmmm...I can't really pick it out...
