Young girl

Taken today on the beach, very windy so I tried to get her hair to create some life, in contrast to these very calm eyes. I think she is drop dead gorgeous.

f/1.4
1/8000
iso 200

50mm lens

Smashing shot, Wud! And at f/1.4 no less...

At first I was thinking I'd like to see more contrast, but then, no... I think you've pitched it just a wee bit high and it's really working the shot.

.....

Outstanding!!! I really like your work Wud. Bravo!

Oh, sorry... That wasn't very clear.

What I mean to say is, the image is a little high-key; meaning there is a predominance of high brightness and whites in the image.

No no, just me who didn't really know that word - I see what you mean now Its 50/50 bright and soft, actually, how cool is that? I am LOVING 1.4...

Oh the thread was supposed to be in the feedback section.

Got a color version too, slightly different but taken just before the b/w:

I find the color distracting. Your b&h is spot on. Excellent
