Went for a wander with a friend of mine the other day, came out with this.

Re: Livvi Posing in the Park

I really like you BW images as I feel that they complement her and focuses on her and not her clothing.

Re: Livvi Posing in the Park

Bit of an image overload Paul if you want proper feedback

The two that really work for me are the first two in mono. I know the spots or freckles are probably her features but wonder if they would be better cloned out

agree those two B&W images are class!, but also with Stan, maybe a few less images

Re: Livvi Posing in the Park

The first image for me has captured something special- some degree of character or spirit perhaps. Well done.

As such her freckles are part of her and should not be removed unless it was a fashion shoot.

Re: Livvi Posing in the Park

Thank you for the feedback.

Interestingly enough I did edit out the freckles the first time I looked at the edit, but they removed too much of the actual character of the model, so I put them back in again, or at least deleted their removal (if you see what I mean). Also an interesting point, the model hates the open hair of the first portrait because it shows her ears, which she says she doesn't like.

Also, sorry for posting so many images. Normally on this particular forum I get an error message when I post just one, so when it started to work I just got carried away in the moment :)

Anyways, thanks again for the feedback.

If her mum likes that one then who are we, or you, to argue with her!

Re: Livvi Posing in the Park

That is a lovely set Paul. Personally I disagree with removing the freckles etc. They are part of her! I have no aversion to removing the odd spot from photographs of my daughters or others where it is a temporary problem, but no reason otherwise.

I also love the B&W, but I have to say that the light in the colour ones is simply breathtaking. Gorgeous late afternoon, winter light.

A lovely set
