Beautiful Sandi!!
All the focus on dallas, nothing distracting our attention. Great!

Thsnk you Tomas,
I had her lay on the helicopter pad outside the ER where I work. The colors are faded and it gives a fairly good mild contrast. I guess whatever works.

Great idea to have almost all background without color only the red line pull the eye to her.

Sandi,

I liked the creative way that you
used to pose Dallas. How did
you minimize background surrounding
her?

Lou,
The background was taken on the helipad so it is kind of washed out white and red and the sun was setting so I got a lot of highlights. Then I transferred it to photoshop and accented the highlights. Thanks for your great comments. If you have any recommendations I would love to hear them. Thanks Lou

Sandi,

Here my idea for a close-up image:

1. start your image a little below her waist line showing off her multi-colored belt;

2. then, focus all the way up to her
face and hair, but not including all
of the extended hair.

It focuses more on the beauty in her
face.
