Nice Nano, welcome.

cplkao, lovely image. medium works well with the subject. and the gesture points to the title as I recall pina from the movie and from dancers in my life. an image to be hung and shown.

Nice one Matthew! this is kind of fun to meet here !

Today I'm back to show my first 5x7 portrait, with my newly bought Norma :



Sinar Norma 13X18 (5x7)
Commercial Ektar 12" (305mm)
Delta 100 13x18 and Ilfotec HC

Lorent, nice execution. I like the use of the prop and the subtle textures of the garden background. the glance out of the frame works well.

Thanks Nicholas, On the other hand, composing a 5x7 portrait is not so easy, this format is too narrow, I had to reframe this photo in a 4x5 ratio to make this photo look better.

I think that I will make a mask on my ground glass to create a special ratio, a kind of 5x6...


Oh and this is not a garden in the background, this is a Castle, the Belfort Castle which is apparently undergoing some works (hence the frames behind the head of Elise my model).
