Krys (3), (4) and (5)

In a same thread I propose 3 poses of Krys.
Thank you for your comments.

Krys (3): Monochrome sepia treatment


Krys (4) just Monochrome


Krys (5)
color, an other day, other light setup

[Mike Buckley]

The compositions work well and the lighting complements them. Very nice.

I notice in the color version that her eyes are not the same color. Famous American baseball pitcher, Max Scherzer, has the same genetic cosmetic condition though more pronounced. His dog also has the same condition.

it's not natural, she likes to wear different colored lenses
for Krys (4)
I suggest after reflection this version in order to avoid the sleeve

Very nice set Jean Her skin doesn't seem as smooth in #1. May be some more PP would work

[bje07]

Her skin doesn't seem as smooth in #1
No, no Binnur, I'm sure it's the same picture just cropped

[bnnrcn]

My comment was about #1 (the sepia) Jean. Her skin doesn't look as smooth as in the other images. But if you meant that #1 was a cropped version, I haven't seen the original and I'm not able to compare them

Sorry Binnur I thaught you were speaking of the first version of Krys (4)
I often receive (not in this forum) comments saying that I smooth too much the skin. This time I did nothing, so with such lighting, skin reveals all details

Krys 3 does not work that well as you have her nose cutting across the cheek. While I have seen a few images where this works, in the majority is looks awkward and unfortunately, that seems to be the case with this image.

Krys 4 - here the position of the hand in front of the mouth creates a bit of an awkward look as well. The position of the hand and the pearls give her a look that reminds me of the Mursi women in Ethiopia's Omo Valley and their lip plates. Again, just a bit strange. I suspect that had the hand been a couple of cm lower, the image would have looked better to me.

Krys 5 - this one works well for me and I do like the two different colours of the eyes. I also find that her clothing and head covering are nicely complimented by the background.

Nice series.

Ok for your comment on #3
# 4 Don't you exaggerate about Mursi women????? This is your point of view I don't share. I feel she is thinking

# no comment

Thank you for the time you spend on my pictures. I learn every time

In the image the hand and mouth are connected and this combination is what is not working for me in this image. The position of the hand connecting to the lip is what gives this image a strange look.




(And yes, this is a young Mursi)

[bnnrcn]

I just want to make a comment about the position of the hand in #4. I'm a woman who wears necklaces from time to time and I play with some of them exactly in the way that your model does Jean. So, that posture doesn't look strange to me at all. Also that Mursi woman's hand covers her nose and mouth completely although the lips and the nose are completely visible in your image. So I like the way she holds the pearls next to her lips and if you asked me I wouldn't crop the image at all because it is nice as is

Mursi shot doesn't work for me either because of the position of the hand though.

KRYS (6) without hair (wig?) but with the same necklace. New PP



KRYS (7)

[bnnrcn]

I like both shots but I don't like very dark parts under Krys 6's chin and stain-like darks on her right cheek. I think I would prefer the Krys 7 without the armchair . The composition of Krys 6 is really nice though

[madcrow]

Jean, great images. Can not find fault with any shot.

[bje07]

Thank you Maurice

You are right Binnur for her chin and cheek.
You are right too for the armchair on # 7
I'll fix it.

I like #5 the best because:

1. Her skin is the smoothest in this image

2. The nose rings are least visible in this image, This last is just a fetish that I have which may show my age...
