I also love the rough strokes on the background that give her a creative, Arty edge, particularly where light and dark collide. And the that one stronger black angle that anchors the subject. Also love the balance of the black boots and camera. Thanks ,Tim, for enforcing the "no smoothing" on this perfect Beauty!Gwen Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393643552813213700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6358020892440594492.post-15097798427495999852011-05-27T13:37:36.329-07:002011-05-27T13:37:36.329-07:00Just pulled this out at the last minute huh?
