2nd Bedroom Eyes by JDU

my house in the suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia


Well, I did take this photograph of my wife in our bedroom. ;^)

Despite Peter's advice, this colour version replaces the coloured version I posted first and the B&W version I posted second (sorry Peter). I kept coming back to the coloured version for a better contrast with the background and to keep the detail in the lips without sacrificing the eyes at all. I toned down the red/yellow a bit to make this one a bit more neutral and natural than the original colour version.

Hi John, great picture and I agree with the others, the colour version results much better, your wife as beautiful eyes.

I also prefer the coloured version due to the beautiful color of the eyes, I'm glad you went back to it.

Stunning! Glad you went with the colour version; that way we can appreciate the blueness of the eyes

John I find both versions to be beautiful, but with the title in mind I think you have made the right choice in going with B&W.
Cheers Peter

Another lovely lady. The heavy cropping works very well. You're lucky to have such a cooperative (and beautiful) model - my wife hides when my camera comes out.
