    The pose is stagnant but the lighting and processing are fantastic. The pose is just a matter of "what I wanted to do", my opinion is just my opinion. Europeans have such a different style than Americans. I tend to like the European style a lot. It's just more edgy.

    Thanks Charles, I always try to do it just a bit different then a standard portrait. I talk a lot with the models and try to get them to give me the look I want. It does't always work. I guess the styles are somewhat different but that is what I like about a forum like this. I get to taste the US flavor, and somehow I do get attracted to it. Soon I will post a fifties Pin-Up series, and that is very much American...

    To me this is a classic example of a technically superb image without any emotion or soul.

    The image just does not engage me.

    But please don't misinterpret what I am saying because the photography and PP are great!!

    Charles, I will post a few tomorrow. I live on an old square farm from 1616, and have my studio in one of the barns. I also use the tower as a shooting place. My models, are kind of an automation. I started shooting for Miss Fashion and one model talks to another....The result is that many models want to shoot with me because of what they say " the light and fantasie". I treat the models with the outmost respect, and we have typical a two hour conversation before the shoot. There are no taboo's , except porn.
    Anyhow, I will get a few shots for you.
    Anyhow this is at least one view , the old farm in the rain and the old staircase.

    I agree. Everything except the expression is great.

    I really like the pose and expression. It makes you wonder what she's thinking. I think it works with the lighting and processing.

    It is a beautiful portrait, in the beginning I had the same feelings Sam is expressing here but I think it is the muted expression of the model what create interest.

    She is beautiful and the PP is just outstanding.

    Frankly like the rest I like the lighting and PP. Having said that, I also like the pose. There seems to be meaning and emotion in the subtlety of her expression. Her chin down and eyes up with a bit of a stoic sense.

    Is this what you were looking to achieve? The only thing I would change is her left earring...

    I like the editing ( except for the blurred darker halo around her),lighting and photography. I think the lack of expression makes the picture. It allows the viewer to wonder what she is thinking.
