About the Image(s)
This photo was made in a studio using natural light from the window. In post processing I decided that monochrome will draw all the attention to the model's eyes, and by reducing the exposure of the entire photo except the face I left only emotions. The photo was made using the Nikon D800 and Nikon AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm F/2.8G IF-ED.

Hanna, Welcome to the group. This is a beautiful portrait and looks very natural. nicely done. I have never seen portrait pictures in this group and I do not know if this is the best place. I will leave it to Michael, he is the boss. I like the picture a lot.

Adi and Hanna,
I think the reason this group hasn't generally seen portraiture probably has more to do with the past members' interests rather than some unspoken "rule".
My feeling is that all genres of photography are welcome in this group. Posted: 03/09/2025 09:11:08

Hi Hanna
You've presented us with a lovely portrait of this young woman. The subject is beautifully lit; has soft facial features, yet the eyes and hair are perfectly sharp. Your image has nice tonality that spans the entire gamut. Setting her against a black backdrop, adds a sense of mystery and drama. Very well done!
Your post processing is expertly done but I have one suggestion for presentation on this forum: Because the background on the site is black, any image that is dark at the edges blends into the background and thus looses the frame. A simple, light colored stroke around the frame will present better here. Posted: 03/11/2025 10:55:41

Welcome Hanna,
This is a beautiful portrait!
My only suggestion is to remove the two freckles under her nostrils. Posted: 03/16/2025 22:48:02
