Title: A portrait
Post by: Farmer on January 08, 2009, 06:28:22 pm
I don't take very many portraits, but I'd like to take more.  This was a candid shot of a photographer sitting in front of me at a bird show at Taronga Zoo.  C&C most welcome.

I like the concept, but it doesn't hold my interest, with no focal point.  Maybe if you could see more of her eye...

Interesting, but I can't tell much about the person in it other than that they have long lashes.

IMHO it's a bit tight and doesn't have any context.

Yes... I looked at the image and thought it shows the resolution of the camera very nicely if someone's interested in pixel peeping, but it doesn't hold my interest as a portrait.

Interesting point of vision, it may look better in B&W
