Very beautifull portrait and tones Thilo, the title fits the image perfectly!


Verena Rentrop   {K:14426} 10/21/2004
Hi Thilo,

also zuerst sah ich das fehlende Kinn,mmmhhh...
aber nachdem sich das ganze Bild aufgebaut hatte, macht der Beschnitt Sinn.

Dafür das es nicht so Dein Ding ist, ist es sehr gelungen, soweit ich es als Nicht Portrait Photograph beurteilen kann.

Carmem A. Busko   {K:48763} 10/21/2004
Yes, it?s a good contribution to the project..but if would be better if she were looking to you..

The lighting is suberb!!
Cheers, my friend!

Patrick Jacobson   {K:29151} 10/21/2004
Fantastic smile from her.. she is really happy there! =) First i didnt like the crop but it works.. it really does.. =) Great tones and use of natural light (it looks like that). Great contribution to the project!! =)

Cheers

Hi Thilo, i like this! Most people have commented on the crop, but i like it. Nice and tight. I would have preferred the space to be on the left hand side of the frame - so she is not looking out of the frame, but maybe this was not possible and you certainly couldn't crop her any tighter. So well done. Best wishes Neil


Carlheinz Bayer   {K:14220} 10/21/2004
Wonderful portrait! You managed a difficult light situation very well. BRAVO!!!

Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/21/2004
Hi Verena,

diesen "verwegenen" anschnitt habe ich mir bei einigen portrait-spezies abgeschaut. früher hätte ich so was auch mit anderen augen gesehen... aber mittlerweile suche ich geradezu das ungewöhnliche ;-)

danke fürs feedback!
LG,
Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/21/2004
Dear Carmem,

thanks a lot for the honest feedback. Good idea with the eyes: next time I will take care of that. problem is that you have to get willing victims ;-)

take care,
Thilo


Uwe Bachmann   {K:10222} 10/21/2004
dafür dass ich mich mit porträts auch nicht so gut auskenne, erlaube ich mir trotzdem das urteil: sehr hübsch geworden....;-)

vg, uwe


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/21/2004
Hi Patrick,

glad that you liked the cropping in the end ;-)

the back lighting is the sun, therefore it's quite natural ;-) this image was made at the deserted beach. September is not the time the Italians go for a bath in the sea ,-)

take care,
thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/21/2004
Hi Neil,

thanks a lot for the in-depth and interesting comment. I see your point, and I think you're right with the space. cropping couldn't be different with that picture, though, but I will take care of your ideas with the next "shooting" ;-)

take care,
Thilo


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/21/2004
Hi bro,

I'm really a happy guy to have that f1.4/lens. this gadget rocks the house, portrait-wise or in the night. this is where SLR kicks compact's butt hard. never believed that until I checked this by myself ;-)

thx for the feedback,
t(hat)-bro


Thilo Bayer   {K:50301} 10/21/2004
Hi Uwe,

Amateure unter sich ;-)

Ich kann der Portrait-Sache einfach wenig abgewinnen, weil ich zu wenig steuern kann ;-) Aber irgendeinen beitrag wollte ich doch zum projekt beisteuern.

Beste Grüße,
Thilo


Ursula Luschnig   {K:21809} 10/21/2004

LG,
