About	Amy and Sophie(aka Brian and Bob). Main posting in colour with a sepia conversion attached. To Rina and Andre.....I have now tried out PS on Amy's eyes and it seems to have gone well, what do you think?? Spoke to Sarah, the Mother, and Amy has always had shadowed hollows for her eyes from yet another childhood ailment. Amy hates her eyes so I probably won't show her these results.

Hi Ray,
A lovely portrait of these sisters. I think I prefer the colour version only because the sepia tones seem to play with the shadows and create some lines (it could just be my laptop that I am on though). I also like the white background and lighting.
All the best,
Chris

You have captured a sweet, deep love in this image. I like the photo very much.
Ray, for the portraits I almost always prefer the B&W version.
Take care.

Very, very nice portrait. The lighting around the subjects is just perfect. I also love the composition. Great work

Alessandro Capelli {K:34260} 11/12/2006

Directly into my favorite Ray! Beautiful double portrait of this beautiful two young lady, your neighbors daughters..I think I prefer Sophie, or as better Bob..;)
I like more the color version, Sophie's look is very attractive..we can see a woman in her look..in the sepia version she smile, and we can see her child side..;)
Have all the best my dear friend!
Ciao, Ale

Wow... Ray, outstanding work. Yep, all it needed was a subtle touch. Really, you haven't done much more than what a make-up concealer would do anyway. It's that good. You'll have to show Amy what you've done. I'm certain she'll love it. Please tell her from me that she has gorgeous eyes and that she resembles my niece (currently doing very well as a model, I might add), even down to the hairstyle and colours!

The sepia version is just as delicious. Both images exude warmth and love, and both would be ideal prints for the girls to treasure always.

Well done Ray my friend, well done...

A great pose and lighting. May I suggest that you need a small light near the camera to put catchlights in the eyes or you could even do that in photoshop. Very nice color. Don.

Lovely portrait Ray!
Excellent composition!

Hi Ray -

The lighting and exposure is spot-on here. Skin tones look accurate too. This is a wonderful pose that shows a bond between these sisters.
Very professional, congrats!
All the best,
Kes

Very nicely done portrait of these two, Ray! Great pose and expressions, and even the colours of their clothes compliment each other. Well done!
Dave.

Benedetto Riba {K:15792} 11/13/2006

Hi dear Ray, wonderful details and splendid expression of model you have captured, great double portrait.
So many compliments and regards.

stingRay . {K:136763} 11/13/2006

I didn't spot that Don.....due to the lighting in the conservatory and the room left to work in with all the furniture around the sides I either strike lucky with natural catchlights or add them in later.....I forgot. I concentrated on what Rina and Don had to say about the previous posting of Amy. Cheers my friend, thanks for popping in........Very best wishes....Ray

Both their eyes look fine. I think no matter how we look something about us we don't like but others do? Excellent pose and portrait.

Beautiful portrait of the two sisters together Ray. Their wonderful position exudes warmth and feeling. This comes across in both versions. The expressions beautiful.

Rashed Abdulla {K:153041} 11/13/2006

This is not just a portrait here my friend but an image of very great moment and with perfect and well balanced exposure, very amazing saturated colors and details

Thanks a lot my friend for sharing this wonderful image with us

Wishing you all of the best my friend

Robert Kocs {K:89061} 11/13/2006

Dear my friend, this double portrait well done, I think
so the sepia version gives more sensual mood. But my
opininon is not legal because my favourite mode is sepia.
However this composition very nice and full of emotions
and telling the story from deep sisterhood! Absolutely
stunning work as technically & as emotionally.
Well, this is a great work by you! Take care!!!

All the best wishes to you dear Ray!
Robert

Beautiful double portratits, Ray! I like specially the sepia version.

Hi Ray,
From our earlier conversations, I know how you dislike messing around with your images in post processing. But you've done a great job Ray! I'm pretty sure Rina and your models would agree:) The trick is to keep it natural and not remove too much of the shadow or dark rings.
Great job on this very charming composition too!
I give the colour version a slight edge. But you know me, I'm a sucker for B&W, so I could change my mind on the next viewing.
