Model Shoot #2

Although I normally have some idea as to what my final image will be in my mind as I take the photo, I must admit, this one emerged almost exactly like I imagined it.  I wanted one sharp eye and almost everything else softly focused.  I thought the darkness of her eyes versus the light colors of everything else would draw the viewers’ eyes directly to the eyes.

Enjoy.

Camera settings:  Nikon D3, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 shot at 50mm, ISO 900, f/2.8 and 1/60th of a second.

Post Processing:
 
Lightroom—Set black and white points and increased mid-tone contrast.

Photoshop CS5—removed a few distracting elements within the photo and used nik Color Efex Pro skin softener filter.

    I like the photo but I think that the angle is off somewhat. Not sure exactly how I would change it however it seems to need some changing. Like the soft focus on everything but the left side of the face.

    I agree with Terry, something is amiss with this photo however I do not know what it is. Love the contrast between the infocus and out of focus parts.

    The color pallet is pleasing. The overall hushed tones makes her lips and eyes jump out.

    I like it. You immediately go to her eyes. You feel like she is connecting with you.
