The Smiling King

Comment by BeckyT:
Very nice. Love the colors and the flow of the smoke. I will have to check out your blog on smoke photography. I have tried a couple of times with no success. This one seems to have a smiling face in the middle.

I love the waves of fabric and how they frame her face.

Very cool detail, even down to the reflection in the eyes. A lovely calm shot with good color. 10 in my book!! -BB

The Rural Girl

Comment by TCGuru:
Composition: Your crop is wonderful here.

Lighting/Exposure: The light makes her look old beyond her years. The darkness around her eyes and her mouth, the fact that her hair looks to be losing it's colour, all work together to capture that feeling.

Pose: I'd like to see her head turned a bit one way or the other.

Suggestions for Improvements: A little bit of soft light on her face might bring the girl back out.

This is a very striking portrait. Conveys a strong feeling of adulthood from a child. Rather haunting, actually. Can't wait to see more! :)

gorgeous, perfect title (though all kids are sinnerlings :)

Only thing that spoils this for me is seeing the photographer in the eyes...a longer lens would have put you further away and the catchlights would have been powerful... 7

I'm finding this variation on the wine glass genre to be a little on the overprocessed side for me. there's also a little visible tilt that doesn't help.
