Good solid composition, a little distortion but nothing to serious Melanie. Excellent light from the window and works well as a high key.

Well the good news is that almost all cameras use the same tripod connection.

una luce incredibile per un ritratto che toglie il fiato... la pelle sembra veramente di porcellana, è una bellezza che pare poter durare per sempre.. 7/7 Make favorite

Awesome work. I really love the high key tones and the eye-contact.

True... true, but it's not even MY camera. So then I'd buy a tripod for a camera that I don't even own! LOL
I'm hoping to get my own soon and all the accessories to go along with it ;o)

A very tasty high-key experiment, Mel. (Hint: Tripods cost ~ $30)

Thanks! I don't know what program you use, but I use Paint Shop Pro. I used blend layers to get the effect. First I duplicated my background layer, made the duplicated layer a "screen" layer, left the opacity at 100%. Then I merged those two layers so I had one background layer again, duplicated that again and changed the duplicated layer to an "overlay" layer. I added a gaussien blur to the overlayed layer. I adjusted the opacity so it wasn't TOO blurred. That's pretty much it, aside from a few other minor adjustments.

Would you mind sharing with us how did you provide this smooth brightness? (asking as an amateur)
