The focal point of her look and her eyes reaches in and firmly grabs my soul's attention, which is exactly what a good photograph should do. The choice of using that fabulous 50mm f/1.4 here was flawless and gives a very nice tapering off in focus. Some would make mention of not having the perfect single or dual catch lights in her eyes, but I see her eyes as they really would be - reflecting life, not a studio.
Absolutely stopped me in my tracks, doesn't look like much special from the thumbnail bit it's near perfect when you see it larger.
The pose, the gentle lighting, the softness on everything but the eyes, the exposure it's all so subtle and so brilliant.
A new favourite for me.
Beautiful photo, I love the way the light draws your attention to her eyes. I enjoyed all of your photos of your children, but this one definitely stands out as a work of art.
