I cant even decide what I project here.

Thank you.x

Wonderful…............love the styling, expression and tonal quality, congratulations to all involved.

This is fantastic. The depth is awesome and the vintage touch really sets the portrait off.. Great image… ;)

Great shot Paul. You are fast on the mark…

Stunning!!

So much a part of the era…..a beautiful image that wants to make me step back in time….

Thanks so much DevineDayDreams, Jim, Caroline, John, Veronica, midzing, Glamazon, Barssel, Rob, Gerard, Cathi and Steve! :D

There’s so much creativity in this image, and what a brilliant result Paul, enhanced by Lisa’s amazing presence.

stunning!

Great capture Paul…I love the model’s emotive expression you have brought out.

Paul – great colour composition – Perfect.

Lisa – you look stunning …

excellent vintage touch there mate, thanks for organising the meet

Thanks heaps Graham, AnaBanana, Joshua, Ash and Alf! :D

a superb portrait and a wonderful model! The tension is very clear!

An intense moment captured intently.

Very good piece Paul – interesting that you chose to convert into the green hues. Makes me think /feel some kind of jealousy in this one. Hope to see plenty more from the shoot

Gr8 shot Paul..Amazing emotion – perhaps a little too much for me at this time..as I go am going through a very intense period with one thing and another…but can’t ignore the fact it is a great photo…well done Paul!

Wow, stunning image!

what a sensational image – and what a beautiful woman… this exudes style.. love how you have shot this Paul… timeless piece for me… just wonderful!!!

she is absolutely regal… i love how you captured her essence and strength.. the mood is wonderful. it could have been taken 100 years ago or today, timeless indeed.

seriously, it looks like she has control of the whole theatre.
a special screening just for her.
her clothes suit the atmosphere so much.
the toning (yes i’m so greeeen too, hehe) and editing add to the vintage flavour yet it’s in the present tense.
beautiful, raw, very stylish.
great one paul! ;-) xox

You’re all very kind! Thank you hsien-ku, Textureofthesin, Stephen, Gerijuliaj, Susan, PaulVZ, ShadowDancer, aglaia b, Michael, Idnurse and Cordella! :D

nice title and framing paul. love the contrasting tones with Lisa’s black hair and top against the background.

Thanks Marnie, I must admit Lisa certainly helped me with the title and the 5×4 framing just seemed to work! :D

wonderful nostalgic feel – another brilliant piece!

Beautiful shot Paul. The day looks to have gone really well.

Thanks Di and Michael! Yes it did! The two hours we were there seemed like 5 minutes! :D

composition, tones, everything, just stunning.

Thanks so much Jodie! :D

Damn you’re quick getting them out. I was wondering what that setup you were doing would turn out like – very nahs.

Thanks so very much Leila and Ben! :D

Beautiful emotive portrait. Congratulations, your image was featured in Australian Portraits group and will appear on the home page for a week.

Very nice work

Thanks so much Vanessa and athex! :D

Incredible!

Thanks so much Shannondonovan! :D

Beautiful!

I love this portrait … what a striking and strong woman. I think you get a real sense of the person here .. she is strong, determined, intelligent and sexy and like all of us slightly vulnerable. I wish I had time to comment on all of them Paul but believe me they are all fantastic.

Thank you kindly matsumoto and Deborah! :D

wonderful work,

You’re very kind, thanks Scott! :D

gives me goosebumps…
