Another excellent image Aldous. You've had a good rapport with the model throughout this series, which comes across well.

Thanks a lot Julian. May I ask do you think the contrast is too much for this series? Some local people said the contrast is too much, to me it's just another feeling towards the images

For myself normally it may boarder into over the top, why not here? For me is the hair and red lips give a good balance to the saturation of the image as a whole. The contrast for me along with the fairly strong saturation works because the colours still have a a lot of depth in tones. Often over contrast and saturation can leave little or less detail and become mono colour. These still have plenty of detail and colour transitions so therefore work well.

Appreciate your explanation Julian

Thanks a lot Ivar. I have added another version with much lower contrast

Excellent Aldous. I have not been able to view the original but I like this anyway.
