Naza - What do you think?

Gorgeous model Nazareth, taken at the forest using a Canon Rebel T3i, paired with a 50mm lens at f 3.2.

What are your thoughts?

Hi Cristian. For me everything is done well.
Darker background fixes the eyes on the model. Seeing the hair streaks I assume the background was the same and not changed in PP. leaving little of the left, there are no major distractions. Am sure you also know about a hair steak on right eye.

on the contrary, requesting to share your lighting set up, meter mode and other meta. Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback! I share what you requested

Hi Cristian. Thanks. so this was natural light portrait. Spot meter darkened the background.
Good processing.

Exactly. Natural light only. Thank you Vijay

I think that the hands need some retouching too. Or the face needs less. There is too much difference in visible detail between them and the face.
Otherwise I like it.

Thank you for the feedback Adam. Appreciate it

I like the deep DOF. It’s just enough context and still blurry enough to separate. I also like level of darkening to pop out the subject.

I don’t like messing with flyways myself, but, I think I would have tried to get rid of a lot of them, especially the ones contrasting the dark background. Also, the strands across her eye. I suck at photoshopping so I can see that being a little tuff, maybe.

The smoothing on her face looks too heavy handed. That style at that smooth level usually has the tendency to give skin a flat look and plasticky.

I would smooth her hands a little and reduce the red/pinkness.

Last one :) remove the gold/yellow cast from her throat. And, slightly smooth that too.

Great feedback! Thank you!
