Funny Girl (my first portrait attempt)
by Bassie

Comment:
This is adorable. You know she will probably want to crawl under the nearest rock when you show this to her prom date, right? Great portrait. The look on her face is priceless. I would prefer a more right-handed presentation...crop off to the right and leave negative space on the left in the direction to where she looks. Good effort! :o)

Nice soft lighting...but the focus or gaussian blur is a tad too soft for my taste. The portrait itself is nice, with pleasing tones and nice composition. :o)

Very nice portrait. I like the soft lighting and the focus. I am a bit distracted by the shadow on her right eye and cheek, and her hair tends to blend in with the background. Nonetheless, it is a beautiful image. :o)

Beautiful image. I love the almost-Victorian or maybe Italian renaissance feel of this photo. Lighting is excellent, focus and colors are good. Nice job! :o)

This is another one of my favorites...it's well composed, lighting is effective, focus is good, and colors are complimentary. Well done. :o)

A Penny For Your Thoughts

The pose and most of the technical aspects of this photo are fine, however, I find the lighting to be a bit flat and dim on my monitor. I would have liked to see a bit more brightness in the face, possibly the catchlights in the eyes. I understand that with glasses, that is extremely difficult to pull off effectively. It is nice as it stands, but could be better with some lighting adjustment. Good effort. :o)

Noisy, Hungry Sea Lion

There's a tad of a blue cast on my monitor. I'd like to see more of the sea lion. I can definitely hear him, though. Good take on that challenge. :o)

I just got one of those and I'm dying to recreate some of my favorite shots from DPC...this one included. Lighting is awesome! :o)
