I like this photo and the way it's processed. The only thing that eats at me is that it appears a little red/orange? I love the sharp focus and detail of the eyes and the crop. Should of finished higher in the rankings but that's DPC for ya! Great shot!
Tried to fave this, but says something about it already being in my favorites. I wanna fave it again.
I honestly can't put my finger on why I like this so much. The longer I look at it, the deeper it connects.
Music has a way of changing how an image looks & feels as well, and just found myself listening to
Calling all Angels by Jane Siberry with KD Lang, and temorarily left the real world, being absorbed in the moment.
Very nice, sharp focus on eyes and good skin tones. The pose somehow evokes the need of more space around the sides of the model, this seems too 'in the face'.
I also see a very strong resemblance to Holly Marie Combs here.
Is she a professional model? If not, she should be. If so, lucky you to photograph her.
Truly a fine portrait and bravo for how you represented her here.
