Lips

I have tried this image all three ways; all color, all black and white and spot color with just the lips. I like this version the best. It really draws the viewer' attention to her full and beautiful lips.

D700, 85mm f/1.4 AIS Nikkor

Nice.

Very good, but there seems to be too much empty space under the lips. Or it could just be me.

I like it. I'm not a big selective color fan, but I find a little red and a pretty woman (or even part of one) works.

It could be that from a composition perspective you might be expecting to see the lips at that intersection of thirds? I think it has more to do with the subtle transition from chin to neck, and I believe if the shadow under the jawline is burned in just a touch it seems less empty without taking focus away from the lips.

(hope you don't mind)

Great shot Scott

Fantastic shot!!! Really nice!
