Location: Michigan
Date: Apr 14, 2007
Aperture: 3.2
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/13
Galleries: Emotive, Portraiture

 Post editing: Cropped, adjusted cuves, adjusted selective color, dodged and burned, played with the median for some grain, and resized. I dodged extra on the dots of the brush, so they would stand out better.

I like this shot and am a bit amazed that it didnt score better. The focus the lighting and the composition make it a wonderful shot. I like the vibrant colors of the hair and the brush. Nicely done.

Very nice. I like the lighting used in the photograph, it really makes the colors pop out from the light background.

wouldve been better without the brush, it wouldve created less attention on it and more on the hair

I would have erased the side of the face - taken all the skin parts out because the collar of the shirt creates a sharp, disruptive edge to the image. if she didn't have the shirt and you could see her back, that would be different. Otherwise, the hair, the lighting, the color - all magnificent.

Nice clarity. Would have still been great without the brush, but that makes it different! 7

This a nice shot (excellent color) but I found myself trying to scroll further up. For me, it would have been nice to see more of the top of her head.

Very nice image. Only thing I would like to see different is a "little" bit of detail of the clothes (minute). The image definetely says "hair". Good job.

The hair is nice, good colour and detail. Not fond of the cropped neck, might be better if you faded the edges a bit.
