RE: Mono: Portrait of Zoe : Photography
Nice shot, nice composition. Hope you don't mind me making a suggestion...Increase your contrast.
If you have not done any processing, and it is a straight shot then i suspect it is slightly under exposed.
I was trained as an archival printer and as such i learnt the zone system. when you get the exposure bang on in the middle, u get pure black and pure white and every tone in between. your pic doesn't quite have a pure black and pure white. in photoshop adjust the contrast upwards slightly until until you get a pure black on the darkest part and a and pure white on the lightest part. i bet if you do that it will give your pic extra punch.
No problem. Do you mean like this? It looks a bit too strong and "digital" to me like that but I suppose its personal taste. I tend to like a little less contrast.

Personally, I like this version much better, but as you said...it's a matter of personal taste and style. I love high-contrast.
Thanks. Yes I tend to go back and forth but generally I like softer contrast.
