Best friends forever..

Best friends forever..

Here is a photo of my little girl with her best friend still from my very girly series. I really liked the finished photo because to me it shows that a friendship would be the same 100 years ago as it is today.. Quite timeless so I would love to hear some feedback :o) Basia

    G’day Basia,

    This certainly does have a timeless quality about it and a lovely soft, feminine, storybook mood.
    Your photography has been handled very well with a good exposure in wonderful light and a nice sharp focus.
    The sepia processing has been well done with a good tonal range and a great use of the highlights.
    I do feel you were a bit careless with the “treatment” though as to me the pink in the girls’ hair spoils it a bit.
    I really like the pose and expressions of the girls – a real early 1900s look.
    Very nice work that girl!

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Thank you Dennis for your in-depth comment. I do agree about the pink vignetting, this was one of my first ever portraits and a first photo with my DSLR and looking back, I still love this but, if I was to do it again, I would not add the pink but rather just leave it in sepia. Thank again :o)
