I don't think I'd want to tangle with this model! Lol! Have you experimented with different backgrounds? Posted: 10/04/2025 20:08:59
Thanks Dorinda, I like the plain background. Posted: 10/05/2025 22:25:59
Very nice image, Mark. Simple make-up but effective with face painting. Love beautiful eyes with catch light. If taken in a studio, I like to set up lighting with gel to create more contrast and tone also prepare a background to match with the theme. Posted: 10/05/2025 06:07:15
Thanks it was taken in a studio. Posted: 10/05/2025 22:26:37
To suit the theme, the color of lighting and background could have been adjusted to create the mood.
As it is, the amount of light on the face is good to reveal all the features. Nicely taken. Posted: 10/07/2025 00:13:58

nice picture, agree that background could be better to create a mood. Posted: 10/08/2025 22:06:52
Nice one, Mark! I'm no expert on studio lighting but the lighting looks fine to me. The skin tones look good, although the model's torso looks a little too saturated c/w her face. I also think a Halloween-themed background, or maybe just a very dark background, would enhance this very nice portrait. Background replacement has gotten a lot better and easier with LR and PS.

Nice shot, good lighting on your subject. I tend to agree with others on the background. It defiantly doesn't take anything away from the image, but I can't say that it add to it either. Posted: 10/12/2025 15:04:07
