Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

Gian, Great use of lighting and negative space, The model is gorgeous as is the pose and her expression. The only criticism I would have is maybe the over the top post processing---I am not a real fan of the " porcelain doll" look---But that is up to the individual viewer---


Again, Beautiful shot


Please keep them coming.

Gian, excellent work. I really like the feel of the shot you got with your post processing. As Bob said though, that

Beautiful portrait of a beautiful girl Gian. I really like the composition and the clothing on the ground adds a lot of interest.


On a technical point, when the model is right of frame and the lighting is on the same side, should the negative space be on the RHS as well? I mean should she be looking in to the image or out of the image in this case?


I know with birds and animals it is preferred to have more open or negative space of the image in the direction the bird is looking.


Having said all that, I wish I had taken this shot, it is beautiful.
