Hypnotic Sehra

Bilsen

This is Sehra, a model from my Caribbean photo cruise. Amazingly, she comes to breakfast looking like this. C&C always welcomed.

Just my opinion:
1. Like it, but the light looks a bit flat.
2. She looks like she's forcing the pose to me.
3. There's a flare that doesn't help, and if she were over another couple of inches the window frame would be complete. I like the image overall, though.
4. The flash shadow (assuming flash) gives a sense of jitter to her body line against the wall. It was distracting to me.
5. My favorite of the group.

Thanks for posting, it really helps me figure out my own photos as well.

Thanks Andrew.

I should have cloned the flare in # 3.

Interesting point about # 4. There was no flash so I'm not sure where that came from but I can see what you're talking about. You have good eyes.

Number 5 is one of my top 5 frames of all time. At least, for me.

I wish I could see what I see after the shutter clicks before it clicks... That's why photography isn't part of my income stream (it is a chunk of my expenses)

What part of the Hudson Valley? I used to live in Kingston/Saugerties (yes, I worked for IBM).

Photography is totally in the "Expense" category for me. I'm looking into stock to ease it some.

I'm about 50 miles south near the Bear Mountain Bridge.
