this is such incredible work
i lvoe the details of her face. those freckles
and her strands of hair sticking up towards the light
excellent choice of framing her as well...right under that glare of sun

Beautiful work
i'm in awe

My gods, such a beautiful character .. she's gorgeous. I love the sense of freedom and acceptance in this, the dark background and flash lit face is very stylish and rarely ever seen.
Beautiful work .. absolutely beautiful.

I love your technic and her strong expression..
You are right, using neatimage or something would decrease this strong feeling.

"The dark background came out like this because of how I used the fillflash (highspeed sync nikon sb800 flash).."

Not only do you have real talent capturing the beauty & intensity of light in all your shots, you can also express beauty like nobody else I've seen on DA. The model you chose is -gorgeous- in this pic. I love the color scheme this comes out as, with the blue of the landscape almost exactly the same as her eyes.

Lovely. It's nice to see a real face on DA. ^_^

ForestOfMySoul [2004-09-06 21:11:55 +0000 UTC]

I really like this shot...
First because your model in not a teenage girl with a beautiful face, but a middle-aged woman with such a beautiful expression in her face...and second, because I love the colours you use and the light that catches all the attentions to the woman face...
Lovely...

raun In reply to A-MAR [2004-09-06 20:24:36 +0000 UTC]

its a single layer, no manipulations other than a level adjustment and unsharp mask. The dark background came out like this because of how I used the fillflash (highspeed sync nikon sb800 flash)..

Thanks for your always encouraging comments

I love how you pictured this beautiful middle-aged (hope I didn't hurt her) lady,
Here on DA we only see beautiful girl in their twenties,
but I think it's great that you shot this woman...
It's like she's a saint or someting cause the light is pointing her direction, very nice work!

raun In reply to amethyste [2004-09-06 20:19:15 +0000 UTC]

thank you so much for your sweet comment. Nope you didnt hurt her She's my woman btw., and I think this shot shows something about her character. With a bit of neatimage and some photoshop makeup brushes I could easily have removed every sign of matured individuality in her, which I think would have ruined the photo. I'm getting fed up with those "porcelain-skinned neatimaged girls with photoshop tears running down their cheeks" that I see day after day in the DTF's... I just wanted to make a photo of a real and natural girl
Thanks again

I have to agree - there is beauty in the age here. I like that this is a clean shot that hasn't been touched. I love the windswept / sun soaked skin that you've caught - nice work with the flash by the way - it works perfectly here!
