again, great timing!

very nice job, Louis! This one has professional portraiture quality, especially in terms of timing. It looks carefully planned, but miraculously, Stella is not tense, but completely relaxed. Is she a professional model? Louis - how did you do it?

No pro

It was Stella's birthday party and she agreed to pose for a couple of shots. the light was really bad that's why I pushed the film. I liked the 50's Hollowood feel, the expression, and the shadows behind the models head.

Fabulous photograph. Strappy shoes add to fifties feel. Uprating (loss of shadows) gives great feel and prevents it from being excessively intrusive(!!) Great ambivalent, quizzical look on her face. Good enough to make me bother signing up/logging in.
