My girl

[Janedoe67]

well when I made a happy retreat from here, finding that 100% of online forums are ALL the same. despite the genre, life was wooo on the family front, hospitals, dramatics, wah wah, no not really, that was Today Tonight...but at any rate. Things have indeed been interesting and reminded me I have a pulse :eek: I finally got over contrasting my girl. Glad too, she is in a hot running for a spanish mag cover as I type. Up against another 9k photogs HAHAHA but still, her pic was 'outstanding' that was sent in on her behalf 'apparently' - so legs crossed for her there.

This one, is meaty. Long story which I won't bother with, but we can just say, a major deep, emotional moment in her little life at any rate (which accounts for the black under her eyes) :p All good, she loves this pic, so any crits, keep them in mind of the girl that might read them. Why posting? Why not!

Hi,
Great when the moment is caught! Believe that you have done this well. At first I thought the shadows were a bit harsh but after looking for awhile felt that it actually works. Can see why she likes the shot. Well done

Hi JD,

Nice shot.

The shadow on her left eye with that glint of white just throws me a bit... I think it would be better to be highlighted more or gone completely, if that makes sense...

Good luck with the mag cover.

Yeah it makes sense. This is the more normal version of the original, which has a cyan twist and she is more bleached out in it, which I prefer, but did like the darkness in this one. Can fiddle with eye! Thanks for the wishes. Doubt she will get it though, lots of competition and it was a COLOUR shot of her :O and technically NORMAL - don't know what came over me lol

Thanks Schwingy :)
