Dear friends!
this time - Natasha. She is fond of horses and these photos were taken at Malishevo - where the horse club is situated. We found some rooms ther to take several Natural light portraits.
Again I try to make different post processing.

She was upset after some news from her boss. So, sorry - no smiles this time.
Besides I like her serious expression.

P.S. Please, do not consider these photos as a serial. Each photo was designed as an individual one.

Spasibo,
Yuri

    :) Poison Oak!
    Just in case you were not aware - this lovely plant she looks like she is getting ready to fondle is Poison Oak. Not usually something you would play with or include in a photo as a focal point. Personally I like the photos, but would consider this one to be trashed just because of the plant.

    I like the shots overall,

    Not sure if its intentional or not but #5 her skin tone just doesnt seem to fit with all the others.

    As for the poison oak hopefully she didnt have a reaction to it, but as for scraping the picture why? its a nice picture the type of plant shouldnt matter.

    Opinions
    Just a personal opinion that's all - for me knowing what the plant is just kind of makes me laught at the photo - ruining it's intent.
    Opinions vary :)

    They must have a totally different variety of poison oak over in Russia. I know poison oak and that's not it. Beautiful, as usual Yuri

    Looks like I am wrong
    Plant appears to be a Virginia Creeper

    or still possibly Poision Ivy:

    Great images as usual Yuri. You just can't seem to find those smiling girls can you?:D Don't worry about poison ivy. That's not it in your photo and even if it is some people can roll around it in and not be affected. Others can't get close to it without breaking out.

    This is Poison Ivy: Poison ivy plants have a compound leaf arrangement made up of three leaflets on a leafstalk. Two leaflets grow on opposing sides and the third stands by itself at the end of the stalk.

    Yuri, I have checked out some of your portraits before and have been amazed at the quality. You are a talented photographer no doubt! Also, I can't believe how incredibly beautiful the women you photograph are. I love their look...so real and so naturally beautiful. I am tired and bored of the plastic, typical and uninteresting women that are plastered on magazine covers today. It is refreshing to see a photograher appreciate real beauty!! I look forward to being a fan of yours!clap.gif

    Michael,
    Just in case you were not aware, there is no such thing as Posion Oak in mid-Russia. lol3.gif
    Besides, this plant not even remotely close to what poison oak normally looks like...ne_nau.gif
    And finally, trashing a beautiful shot because of a plant? eek7.gif

    I for one do not care about the plant, poison or not. She's seriously pretty and #s 3 & 6 are great shots.

    Sounds like a comment from someone who has had poison oak/ivy a time or two! Ironic how easy it is to identify once you've had it a few times (and you can certainly include me in that boat).:D

    And... this description is correct. Both poison oak and poison ivy have leaves that grow in threes. Though one time I got it after the leaves had fallen off for the year and just the vines remained. I'm definitely in the "can't get close to it without breaking out" category. Heck, even if this had been a photo of poison oak, I'd probably have it just from looking at it.

    Why on earth did you mention horses? I expected to see pics with a stable setting. Shucks.
