Description

[Week 11/30] - Theme: High Key
30 Week Project

Thoughts
There was lots to do with this theme... really, anything. Was going to do another self portrait but I feel I've already done too many for my project, compared to still life and flower shots which I did so much more of before.

Emotion comes with this image. Not sadness, actually... nice, touching feelings that are hard to explain. Might have been more appropriate to have uploaded this the same day I had that rush of emotion earlier this week when I edited it... might have found the right words. But alas, you have the image instead.

It was a rather pleasant week - spent most of the last three days really cut off from outside, with long periods free from excessive thoughts. I do enjoy thinking, but sometimes it's nice to just switch off for a short while.

Ok, to start with, this work in high key is really gorgeous! Your colour tone of the shot is amazingly soft and gentle and I like this the most. In my honest opinion of course, shooting eyes is not an original theme, but, in fact, your technique is perfect.
What I adore the most is the pastels of skin and the golden eye contrast. Besides, the tone of the eye is quite unusual and, I think, it adds some point of interest to this photo.
But i suppose, that focal point should be on the eye (and that could add some clarity to the image), but you have on the lashes. The iris is the most important object on this photo.
Overall, a nicely taken shot with some appealing details and gentle colours,, you have done nice work!
