Portrait of Anna

http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/6...21001lows3.jpg

I took a portrait of my close friend Anna.

Technically nice, and i like the colours, but not the composition for some reason, attention should be more drawn to those beautiful eyes!

Out of interest, what aperture was this shot at? Exif viewer is telling me F14, but the DOF is telling me much larger..

Hehe I think the eyes get the attention needed. I wasn't satisfied with the DOF so I actually added a tiny bit more afterwards. But on 80mm and with studio flashes the DOF often get pretty shallow and the difference between this and the original is pretty subtle. I couldn't go lower than f/14 without overexposing.

I really like it:D
So beautiful, and pretty eyes:)
+ fav on da:D
reallly good job

Jag känner en bott, hon heter Anna, Anna heter hon

XDDDDD nice picture and all but not what i'm into really, nice work though can't complain on that

Awesome.
I like how you can see the texture on her skin, and it doesn't look like you just blurred her face.
The post work you did on her eyes is spectacular :).
Was the blue above her eye added before or after? It matches the eyes perfectly and gives it, and almost fairytale feeling.

very cool.
Edit:
now that i look at it though, i almost wish it was so flat.
Maybe if you hadn't cropped in so tight, like maybe have gotten a tiny bit of the shoulders in, it woulda added some more DOF too.

I really think its a awesome shot, i can't take my eyes away from her eyes, they are so beautiful, i am in love:p remember to tell her how pretty she is:)

She's my ex. DUNDUNDUN! >;D

cool, so u won't mind if i take her out and talk dirty would u? :)

She'd hate you. x)

Queu slow beat.

Noone can resist big papa.

End slow beat.

...Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

maaan sehd love me and u know it, i can see it in her eyes :)

wow. her eyes are stunning. I don't like the way its been cropped though, some forehead and shoulders would have looked good.
anyway, this is fucking brilliant.

I wanted a really close portrait. For me it's either the whole head or no forehead, never something in between. The composition is a little brave but actually I think I pulled it off really good, if I'm allowed to say that lol! :P

really great !
i love it

This shot is probably your best Imo. Great work.
As said before, her eyes are stunning :P
why isn't she your gf?

Thanks Noora!

Bloodtears: Hehe hehe ehm that is a bit private. x)

It looks kinda like a catalogue shot, like for make up
im thinking maybe her lips being a bit brighter might add something to it?

I tried that but it didn't look good. I also tried darker lips, but I didn't like that either. Some people over at thephotoforum thought that she should have used a darker lipstick, but I was like lol no u suxxerz! I like that her lips aren't a big focal point, it's all about the eyes and that makes her look more "innocent". ;)
