Head shot

[Harryb]

Since I have just given my opinions on your work I felt it was only fair to post one of my recent pics. This is an available light shot of one of my grandaughters.

It's one of those pictures that makes you wonder what she's thinking. she could be concentrating on something, dreaming or sulking :dunno , lovely picture, (shame about the wooden post though :D)

Welcome HarryB :wave

Good shot! As gubbs already pointed out the post in the background is a unfortunate distraction. I wouldn't worry about it too much though.

She's really well lit, Harry, and she has a nice expression. I especially like how you can see her entire face, even though she's looking down. Nice lighting.

I agree that it makes you wonder what she is thinking about. You can see the gears turning in her head. :) How's that for implying motion in a still photograph?

I don't mind the wooden post, however. It doesn't feel, to me, as if its growing out of her head, since it is so off-center of her head. It gives me a sense of location though, it lets me know she is on a porch. For that reason I like it, even if it is merged with her head.

Thats the problems with grandkids, you have to grab the shot when its there. I tried cloning out the post but wasn't happy with the result (lost some of the strands of her hair). My maskpro plug-in has a tutorial on masking hair. When I have the time I'll try it out on this shot.

The post doesn't bother me. It may even add something good. It is blurred, so that separates it from her head.

If you do use that magnetic tool to isolate her from the post to take the post out, feather it, more than you would have expected. The helps me with the hair, can't give you the numbers, am not a numbers person.

But I do like the photograph. Nice looking girl lost in thought.
