[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 3447, member: 654"] Very good facial shot. What makes it good is the expression on the face, the smoothness of the skin, the position of the eyes so that the irises are defined by the whites, the tilt of the head, the framing of the face by the hair, and the background out of focus. All of this leaves no doubt about the subject with no distractions. And a very lovely subject helps a lot. Your write up indicates that this is a B&W? I'm not a B&W person so correct me if I'm wrong. There seems to be more color there than I would have expected from a B&W. For my taste the eyes have a little too much shadow. Just a little too dark. In any portrait it's the eyes that grab the most attention. They should be well defined and a little sharper than the rest of the face. I would also try to add a little more detail to the hair down the right side and across both shoulders. But hey I'm nitpicking and I'm looking at a small email jpeg that does not do a shot like this justice. An informal portrait doesn't need to be perfect to be good and you done good. [/QUOTE]
