Model: Claudia

This is by no means related to or affiliated with the National Geographic but rather inspired by Steve Mccurry's wonderful expression of his subjects!

Claudia's eye reminds me of Claudia and a space and time that is nice to remember! :)

there's a national geographic logo yet you comment "This is by no means related to or affiliated with the National Geographic"
so what's the point? what are you trying to do?
just provoke or violate the copyright issues?

Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. I do not know how serious your claim but my intentions were more for humor. If NG did really notice this or care about it, my guess is that they would kindly ask me to remove it and I wouldn't hesitate to do so.

I agree with the eyes... they are really something there.

I like how the colour of her skin and the colour of the shawl type cloth contrast quite strongly. I feel as if it could be brighter and have more contrast, though, if only to accentuate the eyes more?

The positioning isn't too bad, although it would be interesting to see you crop a bit more from the bottom.

Great close-up. :nod:

Thank you very much!

I think it could have been brighter and I might update it with more brightness but I don't want it to look artificial. Thanks for the cropping suggesting, I agree. I just did not want the lips in but still not sure whether to crop through the nose :-)
