Jean-Francois, I love the image, i agree with the softening gegree, mostly the right side, just a little less would retain the desired effect and make it easier to view, very good overall
Jean-François, I like this portrait very much, the softness, the blur... Lighting and toning are excellent, but the (uneven) white frame distracts a little bit (IMHO). Nevertheless, a very emotive portrait!! Best regards, Ekkehard
