rachael has dreamy eyes. indeed, very beautiful. but kees, you've done well in capturing her expression, here. the expression speaks. so, i will say you have a job well done.
Hey Kees, another fantastic portrait. As amazing as your portrait work is your modesty. As Oscar Wilde said, a picture is a portrait of two people - the sitter and the photographer. I can see your distinctive style in this shot and you've done a great job to retain the warmth, feeling and atmosphere on what looks to be a very dreary day. Gets my vote.
Thanks guys, I must admit that it is not really fair. When you have a stunning model like Rachael at your disposition, taking a beautiful snap becomes so easy. Mind you, I just get mesmarized by her eyes which makes concentrating on the composition rather difficult...
To make a long story short, you guys would probably have done a better job. ;¬) One day she will be famous. Perhaps one of you guys will bring her to fame. She needs to be photographed by far better established photographers than me. Didier and Guenter, I am winking at the both of you!
