August 2026 - Lucia
Original
About the Image(s)
Olympus EM1 mk3 - ISO 100, 1/160th, f8, 44mm (88mm full frame equiv)
The image of Lucia was taken in a studio a couple of weeks ago.
Most processing was undertaken in Adobe Raw. Then in Photoshop I removed a few bits of the dress that were sticking out as well as dealing with a few facial marks. It was then cropped & turned into black & white.

Charles, this is lovely in black and white - not the usual treatment. And your final editing was quite well done. Great job. Posted: 08/15/2026 00:51:46
Charles, i think this is a beautiful image in colour and mono. Well done ! Posted: 08/16/2026 10:59:26
She is exquisite! For me, the black and white really enhances this image. Your cropping and the lines of her arms frame her face perfectly. Her eyes are haunting... Just beautiful! Posted: 08/17/2026 00:16:35
Hi All,
Group 16 is being disbanded, but thanks for all your comments over the past year or so, most of which I have taken on board and amended my images accordingley.
All the best for the future, Charlie Posted: 08/23/2026 19:37:33
