Great lighting and skin tones Paul. Great angle & crop as well. I'm sure it was a very nice black dress.

Like the extreme crop and her look is an intimate portrait rather than a "fashion" shot IMO...pity her complexion doesn't match up with her arm tone...overall it is a nice shot,brat!

cheers,gayle

Ani,
I used to be a TV News Director, for heaven's sake...my skin is VERY thick. ;)

Further, I am always appreciative when someone shares their perspective on how I might improve my craft. I feel nothing but kindness and love in your posts, girl.

Thank you...Keep 'em coming!

If I have in any way offended you by my IMHO comments, Paul.. forgive me...

You know I do not do so with malice, nor conceit.
This image is spectacular! I was merely giving my opinon from my own POV....

Much Love,
Ani :) x

Hey, THANKS Martin.
This is indeed one of the new AlienBee foldable 30x60 and it is awesome!

My only misstep was in ordering a 400 instead of an 800, as this diffuses a lot of light. I'll be upgrading my 4 to an 8 soon.

Again, thanks!
There's much more amazing talent still to come from this weekend.

Paul,

This is a "Masterpiece" indeed. By far, this some of your best work ol' friend. It's nice to see, that PS is used to a minimum and you actually used your camera and some awesome lighting to do most of the work... hehehe

Just got me a pair of thouse foldable 30" X 60" soft boxes, so now I have to figure out what to to with the two 30" X 60" non foldables, which are almost brand new?

All of my best to you and yours,

Martin

I really love this Paul...

Only thing for me is a little could be cropped off the bottom, as for my eye, there is just a tad too much arm, slightly distracting from the mystery of a strong elegant portrait... In particular the eyes!
(I like super tight crops... I might have even cropped a little off the top as well... but that is me, and not you... and I still really love the way you have it...)

Hugs~
Ani :)
