    Love the color but the top part looks awkward. For me I don't like the forward pointing shoulder, her hand cut off and nose breaking the profile line and cutting into the far eye with the bridge of the nose. The lighting, colors and exposure are fantastic, just my nits so take it lightly.

    TXS Hackbone, your comments are always more then welcome…. that is why I place pic's here.
    Below another one wih at least one of the points fixed (profile-nose-line) the rest is somewhat more simular except the look.

    Your colors are always spot on and my eye is always drawn to them. One of these days will have to talk about how you get those rich tones.

    Hahaha, TXS. Would you believe me if I told you that I am colorblind ?
    Well I am (red/green) and severe. That is why I have started my own process to make sure that the colors are right. In a nutshell , here it is:

    Colors:

    During the shoot
    • For each shot a Gray card (shoot always in RAW)
    • Stable light temperature (flash units)….I use Broncolor Move Packs
    • LCC shot prior to each changing light condition or apperture change ( Lens Color Cast)
    • X-rite Color patch for each shoot

    Post processing:
    • Gray card WB adjustment
    • Camera color calibration (X-rite/profile)
    • LCC correction in Capture One Pro
    • Colorspace Profoto during processing


    Color Tones:
    • Shoot with a 16 Bit sensor (more tone variation)
    • 10 Bit Monitor for post procession (Eizo Color)
    • All processing in 16 Bit (after RAW to 16 Bit TIFF)

    When I started , many folks commented on the colors (wrong) and yet I did not see it. Of course not I am colorblind. So I was forced to rely on technology and find a process that would work for me. And this is what it is.

    When you know the theory, take your time and apply it the result is wonderful work. I wish my theory was as comparable as yours.

    Thanks for the process. I do not use the Xrite. I will have to look into it. Really like the second shot.
