Beautiful tones, Marija. Don't know how I feel about the off-center subject placement though. How did you expose for this? Looks like a deliberate overexposure, am I right? Trying to learn how to do this! #8623Damian P. Gadal September 04, 2002
Very effective.... Colour wouldn't have worked... #13416Marija Milovanovic Maksimovic September 07, 2002

Great photo, good expression, nicely composed to the left side... #52528Tracy Dat May 26, 2019
Just with some level adjustments and you get such a beautiful photo! At first I thought you had to have a black background. Can you explain to me more, please? Thanks! #125156Marija Milovanovic Maksimovic July 11, 2003
Hi Tracy! Sorry for the late answer. I will try to explain. There was no actual black background.. This photo was taken by window light in the late afternoon and only the subject was lit. The rest of the room stayed dark. In original color shot can be seen some small lighter areas on the left , but they almost disappeared with levels adjustments. The spots that remained visible I darkened with burn tool in PS. I think that's it.. #139885Tracy Dat July 11, 2003
Thanks for your response, Marija. I'll try it out soon. #140106Amanda Olson November 23, 2004
I love this photo! The positioning of the child is great; I love the b/w! The expression on her face, her ruffled hair, and bare shoulders all add to the feel of the photo; which is fantastic! Such a cool shot, Marija!!! #934154Marija Milovanovic Maksimovic November 23, 2004
Thanks Amanda! #934192Andrew Laverghetta January 19, 2005
Hey, I know I'm a little late but I was just looking around to try to learn something from peoples photos when I came across this. I looked at it and was just like, wow. It really hits you hard I think. Take care! #1049313Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
