Certainly a beautiful girl with a smile and expression that seems genuine enough, but most of the 'beauty' is covered under a layer of make-up so thick it now looks like the noise reduction slider was set to 100%. Personally I don't like that look. Best Regards, Sander

Nice enough looking girl (with heavy make-up, like said), but pictures are just well done ordinary ones.

I am familiar with the tendency of older men to post pictures of pretty girls, thinking they are good photographs. They are not always.

And sometimes, that's enough. Having seen so much of "not always good" photographs here, these ones come as a breath of fresh air, actually.

Agreed.

Fine work, Rajan, but with a subject like that it'd be hard to miss.

Petrus,

Thank you for your observations. I'll continue to abide by my lifestyle choices which include, but are not limited to, taking photos of beautiful young women.

Have you noticed my choice of models in certain portraiture threads…  ;D

I am also a sinner.
