PotW 3 July 2007

Postby the foto fanatic on Tue Jul 03, 2007 9:46 am

This week's PotW is from a series of fine portraits posted here by devilla 101:

The flattering pensive pose, the excellent lighting and the black background have all contributed to a beautiful portrait.

Congratulations, a beautiful portrait. I missed it the first time. Love the shading contours on cheekbones. Well chosen.
