    G’day Nigel,

    Kylie, your camera and you have all worked very well together here to produce a real “old masters” style image.
    You could not have done this without creating a very good photograph first and your use of the lighting and processing is to be commended.
    I do feel though that as you missed out on getting all the tulle in shot that you use Mr Clone Stamp and carefully clone out the bit at the end after the “lump”. Just a bit of housekeeping really. 8-)
    Excellent focus and depth of field and beautiful colouring.

    This is a beautiful capture, Nigel – certainly a lot different to all other photos in our Western Australia group. Would you mind identifying in your description whereabouts in WA it was taken?

    Thanks

    Adrian (co-host)

  • Nigel Donald replied

    Thank you Adrian for your comment but I keep shoot locations a closely guarded secret especially amongst other model photographers lol but I will say it was shot in the hills just east of perth.

  • Adrian Paul

    Adrian Paul

    Thanks Nigel. I would not expect you to be specific but as our group rules ask you to state in your description whereabouts in WA a photo was taken, if you would not mind adding either ‘East of Perth’ or even just ‘Perth’ to your desciption, it would be appreciated.

  • Nigel Donald replied

    Ok cool no worries
    cheers
