First Post

As mentioned, this is my first posting on this site. I've been enjoying "trolling" for a few months and would like to take an active part.
This is Carolyn, with whom I shared a "Portrait" class at the local arts council. Also, my first attempt at large format portraiture. Lighting is from a floodlight behind a diffusing screen and another smaller flood for a hair light.....Its a start!
Equipment Used
Graflex RB 4x5
Exposure
1/20th @ f4.5
Film & Developer
Hp5- Perceptol 1:3
A very good start. I just find the bottom of the frame, in the middle of her neck, rather abrupt. Either come in closer, and let the light on the 'planes' of her face be your composition, or back up, and give a little more room to the bottom and right.
 
Suzanne provided you some very good comments... Just as a suggestion, you might want to start your first posts in the critique gallery... I believe that critiques are the best value proposition from this group... Welcome aboard!
