    The pose or the eyes / head position in the color version is way better than the BW... The expression is pretty deadpan or dis-interested looking though... I don't know the color looks flat behind the vail... I'm not liking it to much for the contest... but then again I could certainly be wrong... the shot does not "wow" me.

    On a side note, I think it is very interesting that most people so far have choosen to work with translucent...headscratch.gif

    Your portraits are wonderful. My feeling, however, is that the veil is more transparent than translucent.

    Love to dream, and dream in color.

    Thanks Tessa!

    you know, that was my biggest question...transparent vs translucent! There is a subtle yet distinct difference, difficult to convey though!

    I think I'll try silhouettes....I can wrap my head around those!

    thanks for the feedback!

    Thanks for your honest feedback winston! The color/contrast issue is a tricky one, first with the white, and then do I judge contrast under a diffused material the same as the rest? ne_nau.gif

    luckily I have several other AWESOME shooting opportunities this next week (secret secret!)....I just feel like I've done so many silhouettes lately. None of which are eligible, of course! :cry
