Mikayla

My daughters best friend sat for a quick portrait one morning a couple of weeks ago. Mikayla is a little sweetheart and a beautiful young lady.
I ran out of pyrocat so I used D76, I think the p-cat would have been a better choice for this image.
Thanks for looking folks.

It's a lovely quiet expression, and I love the deep beautiful black, but wish there would have been a hair more focus on her eye closest to the camera.
 
i love long exposed portraits
they really show a person's soul a bit more
than a fraction of a second.

beautiful portrait steve !

I agree Thomas, unfortunatley I have only one film holder right now and I think she moved ever so slight on this image. Also, I got a little closer with the lens this time making it harder to focus on the whole face since I do not have any water-stop's becauseit is proejction lens.Thanks for the comment!Steve
