Priviet, dear friends!
Of course, tastes differs...
Hope you'll find something on your taste here...

Used Harry Behret's method here (copy layer/multiply blending mode/blur-> Gaussian blur (3.5 here) depending on the size of 'details'/set opacity to what you need)
2

Experimenting with poses. I choose this one - rather attractive on my taste...
3
3202.jpg
b&w with some softess - to underline those opened credulous eyes...
4

Oh... its cold, cold Yuri.... just +5C only... and this wind .... brrr...

I've made two variants of this portrait: color and b&w.
I love both of them, can decide which one's better -color...
6
3205.jpg
or b&w one

As you know I try to make different photos for one person...
I took 53 shots with my Sony F707 for these 5 ...
Wish you peaceful weekend.

Spasibo for your interest,
Yuri

    Number 2 is very sexy! I like the construction background.

    All are very nicely done! I prefer the color shots with her, as her red hair is great and you wouldn't know it in B&W.

    Damn you, man, it is NOT fair:-)
    Awesome!thumb.gif
    I like the trick of the toned down reflection as a background in #1, very nouveauxthumb.gif
    Yet my favs are #2 and #3.
    Great job!
    Soon Hollywood stars will stand in line for the air tickets to Voronezh to get their pictures taken by you!clap.gif

    If the Cold War was still going, I'd be thinking of defecting to the East :D

    Your pictures just seem to get better and better. #3, B&W for me please.

    Excellent pictures! I think the last picture works better in black and white. The varying shades of red and pink (hair, scarf, skin, lips) draw the eye in the color version. In the black and white, the eyes and glasses dominate.

    Cheers,
    Scott

    Now this is an absolutely beautiful subject. I am partial to B&W photos but this is a subject that deserves color. I love the color photos best which is strange for me to say. Great work all the way around...

    I am curious, do you just walk up and ask these people to model for you? Or do they seek you out?

    Thanks,

    Gorgeous, as always, Yuri.

    I really like the playfulness of her eyes in #4.
