New Portraits :)

Hi dear all,

I always want to come with new shots, but can't manage to take new ones.

These were taken about a week ago. It was hard to shoot when you do not have time, so I tried to make it quick.

Color shots were a bit corrected with Photoshop.

The first and the second are especially lovely, Anne. : )

Well done. We should both dedicate more time to our photography in our own fields. :D

Thanks for sharing. (The third is a bit too raw or artificial with that yellowish tint for my taste)

Thank you very much for all the comments! I decided to post all three shots, because they differ from each other :)

I like the first one the most, and some of my friends loved the third one, though I agree, it looks a bit artificial.

Hi Birma, thank you.
To tell the truth the light comes from Swarovski chandelier which was exhibited in the museum.

So no specific light was used, I just placed my friend near it and start taking photos :)

For me the second one is the one. The thoughtful pose with the gaze directed away from the viewer and the beautiful light work together to make this a fine photograph. In my opinion the monochrome treatment works better too.

Bob

My thoughts exactly.

All of the images are very nice. The second one is exceptional, IMO.
