Did this picture with the 50 1.8, and would like to have some comment on it. Thanks a lot!

I like it a lot too! I think the darkness adds to the drama of it.

I do think it is a bit dark too, but that was the best I could get without flash during the shot. But I like the fact that you feel like that she is receiving the light of the flower on her face (since it is the original color of the photo almost, did really little processing on this)
Thanks cliff and rad ^^

I think it's too dark. My eyes are immediately drawn toward the bright spot on the tree rather than the girl.

thank you, it helps to have an outside vue, when you did the shot it is way easier to read the picture the way you made it. will try to do better with the lighting next time ^^

I love the look and mood conveyed here.

IMO: I would vertically crop this photo down so her hair and her hair clip are totally removed....
This will make the model's face become more prominent allowing her perfect complexion to come through!

I love it! Yes it is a bit dark but that also adds to the overall mood. Great work!

I like it a lot. I think if it had been much lighter it would have lost the dreamy look which is what gives it the appeal (to me anyway!)


40D, 24-70 2.8L :mrgreen:, some other suff too but it hasn't seen the light of day since the 24-70 arrived ;)

I find that I stare at it longer than expected...almost like one of those visual puzzles, but much more calming and relaxing.

great shot!

Thks you all for your comments! I will try the cropping to see what I can get too. The idea was to have the shade or a face. Seems like I am getting loads of opposite feelings on this picture ^^
