I like this one too. A lovely model and shot creatively. I guess I'd have to see it both with and without the adjustment of the brightness around the foot and leg. As it is, I like the effect. But it's hard to say how I'd like it with less adjustment. In any case, I think it works well the way it is. The lines lead to her face which is exposed just right. Jim H.
Absolutely agreed, Cat, the processing is "extreme"... very probably too far in that direction! :-) Regards Nico

Nico, this is a nice perspective and pp is great too, perhaps towards the extreme side... I would have preferred not having the "halo" for the foot which is jumping at us in the foreground. Leaving it against the nice "light gray" (the shade which surrounds it) would have been my take on it.

Pretty lady Nico and this portrait really allows her personality to shine through.
For me it has a pleasing mood and a casual, 'nice to sit and chat atmosphere'. It does not set out to exploit, it seems natural (understanding the distortion a WA lens produces...)
I really like this Nico, quite an interesting and very pleasing break from the more 'traditional' (as wide and diverse as that is...).
