Several issues for me. First of all, not sure if you used AF or not, but putting the face in the middle of the frame (common for AF people) is unbalanced. The head needs to be higher in the frame with less background showing. The head would be bettter in the upper 1/3.
Second, is the background - the texture and color are overpowering for me. maybe if it were more blurred (less DOF) it would help. Third is the color/scan - it seems to be a bit too bluish (at least the wall) and "thin" - like a film scan than still needs some final cleanup. The lighting is pretty nice and I'm trying to decide if I like the hair in front of her eye or not. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, May 18, 2005, 12:53:51 PM, you wrote: U> So much for FOFU, I'll have to think of something else, larf!
