THE TOP TEN - PORTRAITS

The current Top 10 from best to worst:

Left: Very regal positioning, light on the face is flattering, some hair 

out of place on the right but not too noticeable, the bottom needs 

to be slightly cropped but outfit choice is perfect and tattoos aren't 

distracting but gives small delicate detailing on the arm.

Right: Elegant but not feeble, hair is well maintained and tattoo is 

cut perfectly around the back but lighting is a bit too soft, more 

contrast would have been preferable.

Left: Angelic connotations from the chest height lighting, gives a lit
from within look, Jesus's light etc etc. would be preferable to be able
to edit out the hair on the right hand side and the left arm that just
peaks in.
Right: Lighting is a bit too harsh but the glazed over effect it gives 
on the eyes is flattering. The red gloves compliment the bit of colour 
from the lips and eye makeup, small light area in the bottom right 
corner is distracting as are a couple of highlighted hairs.


Left: Forgotten to do up the back of the dress around the neck, 
would have preferred to have a third strong area of red perhaps 
made use of the background more, light on background is more
like some old portraits but perhaps a desk with roses on or some 
kind of throne or scepter would have lifted it, looks a bit too old 
Hollywood glamour.
Right: Again quite elegant but can't help but think I look too
grumpy, jawline could have been darker and cheekbones more
highlighted, a greater contrast between head and neck/shoulder
with another light would have resolved the flatness.


Left: Again forgotten to do up the back of the dress around the 
neck, piece of hair on shoulder is irritating, hair in general too 
prominent a feature, not quite sure what it is but the positioning 
just isn't giving the vibe I wanted to create.
Right: Much stronger and sterner stance but once again a bit 
too flat.


Left: Too much hair, not enough negative space on the left for a 
rectangular print, would need way more space to be a traditional
oval profile.
Right: Great positioning but just a bit too messy otherwise very
interesting composition with all the diagonals.
