Hi




Hi Beth,

I think this opinion may be against the grain of other opinons on this thread, but I think the choices #2 & #1 out of the first batch are far better than any of the recent ones. My criticism would be of the new shots - The way she is sitting (facing you squarely) is less flattering to her figure, and there's nothing ladylike about it. I don't think the dog helps the matter either. She's a beautiful girl but the composition is not doing her any favors. I'm very sorry to sound negative, but between the ungraceful pose and yet the flower in her hair, the whole thing feels awkward to me.

I seem to remember that you were planning this to be a figurative work and not a portrait per se. I think these new images are intending to be a portrait and not a figuratve piece. As either, I just visualize this as being more successful if from the original selections.

I'm so curious to see your outcome from this!

Linda
