I absolutely love this photo of Jessica. I wish she didn't have the piercing in her nose.

Hi Jim,

It's a lovely composition of a beautiful girl. Overall, it's well done. However, if you're looking for an honest critique then read more, if not, stop now :)

It could be in the image or what is seen on my screen but you have a few hot spots where if they were toned down a hair, I think would lead to an even more pleasing image. I see one on near the tip of her nose, on her chin, her lip, her hair and in her ear. They aren't real obvious but if you look on a historgram, I'll bet your whites are over done some. The pin sharp in the eyes are great. I wouldn't touch them but double check for the other hot spots. Tone them back and I think you will find it will make this one stand out even more. If they are there, you will notice them once you print the image. Overall, though, a winner for sure.

Hi Jim, br br It's a lovely composition of a beau... (show quote)


Those hot spots really got me. The image looked fine in the camera. I toned them down in Lightroom and converted to black and white. Played with it a bit and this is the end result. I actually love it the way it is.

I wish I had a side to side comparison with my silver and white beauty dishes and an umbrella to compare how the hot spots would show

Wonderfully done, Jim. You softened the shot just right to highlight her beauty.

i would really like this portrait if you had kept the flash off the camera. The catch light in the middle of the eye makes her look not quite sane. Otherwise a very fine image.

Sadly the young seem to think pieces of metal in their face enhances their looks, sadly it does not why spoil a beautiful face with a metal stud no matter how small

Bottom line is that it's your image and if you're happy with it the way it is, then that's all that matters :)

There was no flash on the camera. This is the beauty dish that I used and positioned it above the camera on a light stand
