I would like to thank all of my favorite artists for the inspirations they have given me. BIOThanks for stopping by my macrocosm. I live and breath any form of artistic expression. I'm willing to try any media. I started with pencils at an early age. I think I may have been born with a pencil in my hand...my poor mother!!!
I then found out about pastels and oil paints. Then moved on to watercolors. I have a bachelors of fine arts in illustration. All my illustrations in college where done in watercolors. Computers weren't as cool as they are today. I think we had photoshop 3...harder work back then. Anyway I then worked for many years as a graphic designer and then art director. It was fun for awhile. Now I'm onto photography for a living. At night I rush home and paint or create in photoshop or both...but I never forget my spiritual life or family or love. Those are very important factors in life. Finding love in this world is a challenge. Hold onto it and never let it go. If we use love in everything we do...in our art or with another person...then the only outcome can be a positive one...

Agreed! A wonderful portrait, but perhaps a little too dark? I like the shadows, but am straining to see more of the midtones and highlights. Keeping it this dark, I would have cropped in on more of the upper left portion of the photo.

I think any kind of title that describes beauty in all its form would be suitable for this shot. She sure is gorgeous. I agree with Kort however about it being a tad dark. Some level/curves adjustment would probably not hurt. #:o)

I was about to say that it was a bit dark, also. Can't wait to see the rework...

She is so pretty. In every one of the photos that I've seen of her she always has a happy smirk on her face even if she isn't smiling. I look forward to seeing more photographs of her in the future. -James

Beautiful B/W capture. I like the fact that there is enough contrast here. I think it enhances the picture more.
