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)
Hakan KAYA

I really love the softness and the pale pinks with the sepia. So feminine and timeless!
bronspst
Everything that was in your heart, you have captured superbly. I love the timeless sepia, the femininity of the pale pink, not too dark – just right, & the sweetness of childhood friendships. Ahh wow!
