Lovely contrast, and I also like how the white is dominant in this picture

Hi Sin-Tax.
Really cool high key 
However I find that your white background taking up too much space on the composition.
I also think that I retouched the bright colors such as red lip, the necklace, eyelashes and hair to make further highlight the whiteness of the skin.
Can you tell me more about the way you have done?

thanks a lot for the kind words. do you mean, you would have retouched the colors even more?
the photo was shot in front of a mostly white background, that i did stamp out by that time. today i would do it in a very different and better way. 
then i applied some colorbalance, selective color change, curves, levels, etc... (as far as i remember

Sieht gut aus. Ich mag es sehr, dass du sie nicht in der Mitte platziert hast sondern mehr am Rand, das gibt dem ganzen Bild mehr Spannung. Allgemein wirkt das Bild sehr klassisch. Die Haare und das Styling sind wirklich stimmig.
Leider finde ich das ihr Gesicht viel zu weiΓ ist. Sie wirkt irgendwie krank. AuΓerdem scheinen Hintergrun und Modell zu verschmelzen. Das find ich nicht so vorteilhaft bei Portraitfotografie.

die helligkeit des gesichtes ist in diesem fall gewollt, ebenso wie der effekt des verschmelzens. ich kann aber verstehen, wenn das in deinen augen problematisch ist. ich glaube dies ist wirklich geschmackssache - bzw eine frage der philosophie. danke fΓΌr den konstruktiven kommentar. : )

mmm what i really like here is how her face is whited out like the backdrop causing hair, eyes, lips and knecklace to stand out all the more! Genius!

thanks a lot - but there are a lot of more steps on the ladder to climb, until i can even see something slightly alike genius

she's a wonderful model, but what are you using for a backdrop? I just notice some brown stains behind her hair.

the bg was a white sheet - the problem was one year back i wasnΒ΄t as good in working on the backgrounds...

Wow! I love the contrasting black and red! Also, the off-center shot is great!

Great shot, the composition really adds to this, but I was wondering whether this would look better with a dark background?

well i tried - but i tried with "normal" skintones. so i really donΒ΄t know how it would look with the white skin. maybe iΒ΄ll try sometimes. but as i wanted to do a highkeyphoto - i really love the overall white

I like this one the title fits perfectly to the expression of this pic.

Beautiful, the way the model blends with the background, the way some elements (necklace, haitr, eyes) almost feel suspended in space due to the almost inexistent contrast between the model's skin and the background, it all fits perfect!

thank you very, very much!

Pretty necklace! And her hair is really nice... I really like the super light background and her light face, adds a nice feel to it... ^_^

great portrait though the light seems a littel too overblown

Very good... amazing composition. I like how the only thing with real color are her lips... and how her skin is so white/pale.

thanks it was a nice shooting a little more than one year ago and i really like having her in front of a camera, as i like her enthusiasm to model - and as she is a really nice person.
thanks for the compliments on the composition...

Very nice, I love the soft light, it really adds a good mood to the photo

I like this very much. It is very tasteful and elegantly done. I like the off center shot. In my mind it makes the beauty of the model even more so, by forcing attention to her. Great make up and hair, too, but I am a sucker for that kind of hairstyle with the trailing curls down each side
I like the white background, too and think it would look equally as good with a dark background. The model has just enough dark on her with her hair, eyebrows and necklace that it makes her eyes and lips really pop.
Well done
