Description
Last shot from Alice's shoot, I promise.And the title has nothing to do with my recent predicament in my latest journal, definitely not my new philosophy.
But I didn't sleep again last night, coming home from the theater after seeing the Dark Knight at 12am
And extremely amazing movie by the way, best $8 I've ever spent.
This shot may look quite dark on some monitors, I have no idea how correct my calibration is but I did intend for it to have a nighttime, slightly underexposed feel.
If it's much too dark, please let me know

Its a beautiful shot focus is drawn to the flower and eye, the colours work well with the dark tones, its simple yet elegant and i think the lighting from off to the left illuminating her temple nose chin, back and neck is perfect leaving the hollow of the eye in slight shadow.....great work

VERY nice. Not too dark. The red's great against her skin. Well done.

I could only recapitulate the comments above. Great Work! Nothing to criticize. Like especially the light red fabric that surrounds face and body on one side and the contrast on the other side. Brilliant!

I love it! I'd like to see a version with the colours retained but the skin tones in b+w that could be interesting.

For some reason it was her eyes that stood out the most to me. I guess it may be because they show this sort of aqua look and it stands out against the red. I love the reds, it definitely is her color!

I love the colors... it's kind of musty, but the red is so intense, it works out very well. Excellent model too, she has good lines
