Portrait of Louise

[MartinBabies]

Louise is singer/songwriter and she wanted a pretty close portrait. I don't do many (serious) portraits nowadays but it's good practice.

That has real clarity to the picture really great job. Are her eyes naturally like that? or did you enhance them digitally?

Anyway good work

[MartinBabies]

I have sharpened her eyes and also brightened them a tad. She wanted them to be the focal point. Thanks.

I like it, but I dont really like how the left side of her hair (her right) is backlit, it just looks a bit odd to me.

Damn, I so fuckin' love your works!
It looks so natural, but somehow it's really unnatural for me and I really love this style!
I wish I could do pictures like that
Well done:P

Thanks for comments.

The texture you brought out on her skin is absolutely marvelous! Did you just use your regular high pass filter sharpening + sharp lens?
One thing that bothers me is that there seems to be a black like strip just above here left shoulder. It kinda doesn't go very well with the bright blue light and BG however still very good.

I like this a ton I always love your portraits.

Oh I didn't see that. I'll fix it later. Thanks.

/Edit: fixed
