much like the portrait "Peach" in my gallery - this is another image really just playing on the idea of color and a painterly effect. folks in my portrait business really go for different looks in regular portraits and i like to play to get different looks as a result. believe it or not - this is just an overlay mode and slight level play in the color image - the hair color you can give credit to my hairdresser and not photoshop
its clearly burned a bit in the original exposure but it works with the red...not the best pose but it just came out so rich in color and lighting i like it. it feels warm to look at and well, i am warm. ask anyone that knows me.

Very painterly. It's beautiful! ^_^ I love this new direction in your work. It seems like you're really coming back to yourself.

it looks so glamourous in my opinion
the contrast of colours is very effective, such as the bright hair colour and lips against the black background.

Mrs Mary is a pretty lady.
The hair looks amazing! I tried that color on mine once, but unfortunately it washed out, 
I adored your Peach portrait, though- That was amazing. n_n I think it's my favourite piece in your gallery!

Looks great; the lighting is amazing; she seems to just blend into the background. Nice job

I'm sure you've heard it a lot, but you are an amazing beautiful woman. Beautiful in the sky-writing-by-a-plane version of beautiful.

You're so beautiful.
Wow.
I really wish I could learn from someone experienced how to use a darkroom. 
I do have access to a darkroom at school, but I dont know a lot about the chemicals in there, 
Any advice you could give me would be appreciated beyond belief!

take a black and white photography class in school that teaches darkroom equipment and then take an advanced process tolearn the chemicals to make them blue or brown in the darkroom (van dykes and cyanotypes)

Fantastic image. You are right it's a little burned esp. on the left chink and I wonder if you could have kept the details on the hair somehow without burning that part, it's tough... About the pose I think it's really really good probably the best pose you could find to go with that hair shape and colour, really a wonderful portrait.

i could work on that are some with the dodge tool maybe
you're so encouraging to me.

I think i see simi the above mentioned grayness, I see just this litter shade at the left side of the background, maybe due to the proximity to your light face? Cool shot in all. Also all pictures tend to be worth a full view, if only to better see details (unless its one of those 2000x3000 full views, those are a killer. Compliments to your hairdresser, i haven't personally been to one in over a year now, and its been far longer since I got a proper hair cut (went maily for dying/straighting with small trim, only once I think) Its good to see more self-portraits since I really enjoy it as subject mater, especially mirror shots. Funny thing is I really don't like pictures being taken of me or making self-portraits.

beautiful... im just saying... the background isnt as solid of black as it could be, kind of like there are slightly greyer spots, and i was just wondering if thats what you were intending to do
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
on my black shirt i see that and that's lighting on black and black
but behind my head - i dont' see the grey spots?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i dunno it may just be my eyes... i have a tendency to see even the slightest variations in colors and it tends to drive me nuts lol

tell me more specifically if you see it in the upper half of the frame (b/c in the lower half around my neck it is that way but that's my shirt 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can see it in the upper left and right hand corners, around the shoulders, but not your shirt, I can tell the difference.. the greyness may just be the distance from the subject and the backdrop, but I don't know
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah that is the light play on the ribs in my black shirt against the background.
