My Muse..

Here’s another photo of my little muse. This wasn’t a posed one, just natural, the way I like it. I also have this photo in sepia which looks nice so choosing was a hard decision.

    Splendid portrait. The selective soft focusing created a dreamy effect and appeal to the image. Colors, pose, posture, exposure and comp are spot on. Her expression is so innocent and hopeful. Light sparks in the hair and cheek. A well done and beautiful image that truly captures the essence of this girl.

    This is an exquisite photo! I do like the cropped version, I think. But either way it is a beautiful child in gorgeous sunlight and the pose, the dress, the dandelions in the hair are all totally charming!!

    Hey there, I have a favor to ask! This is a great example of a portrait. I was thinking about using this image on the button I am making to create easy access to examples of photography techniques on Photography 101. I just need your permission to snag this work off of RB and use it on the button. Is that ok with you?

    PS You will also be asked, when we are ready to do it, to tag this photo with a group tag representing portraiture photography. This just means you have a good example here and we want to include it in our library of excellent works to exhibit photography techniques.

  • Taylor Sawyer

    Taylor Sawyer

    Hey Basia, did you see my message above?

  • Basia McAuley replied

    Ohh! No I totally missed it! Sorry!! Yeah,, sure,, you can use my image :o)

  • Taylor Sawyer

    Taylor Sawyer

    I had asked another person because you hadnt gotten back to me, and she said yes. I will still have you tag this one though, so it will still be included, just not on the button. Sorry! ;-)
