I like this one the best. although they are all good I do like the shadows. Ur model does look relaxed and I am sure u had a lot of fun. Why not post the pic in community forum here in the members gallery. Well done mate.

Yeah, I agree with Derek...this one is definitely the best of the bunch...simply because it includes artistic impression...(rather than just being a snapshot of the girlfriend)...if you know wot I mean. It almost has a 1950's vibe to it...

DEREK - I might just post that pic in the forum here, as well. The pic in the forum is my favorite of all of them (it really highlights those eyes).

As for this pic, we wanted to do a set that was a little more artistic. With a little help from the Canon Photo Pro software (especially in the contrast department), this picture was born.

Thanks for the good words!

I'm glad to hear you say that you like the artistic impression - as stated in my reply to Derek, art was the goal... we wanted to go for a high-contrast, dramaticly shadowed photo that just popped.

I REALLY like what you said about the 50's vibe. Smile
