Nice tonality - I also like the expression. Even the nicely blurred edge darkness behind suits the shot well.

Now all I want is a zoom in so we can see you in the shades

Your 'shadey' shots are always fun to see.

I agree with Ian about the tonality and expression. The background blends well with the shot too, though the fringing on her left shoulder and wisps of hair kinda spoil it slightly.

I have liked seeing some evidence that she's a jazz performer preparing to jam. Couldn't you have asked some the instrumentalists to have moved themselves, or their instruments so they could've been reflected in one or the other of her lenses? She not unlike the young Cleo. D'ya manage to get any of Johnny?

I've just been back to your website to look through the most recently added photos and discovered she's Cleo and Johnny all rolled into one. What a star!!

I have to say I was absolutely bowled over by some of your superb shots of this obviously talented lady. I especially liked picci 253 on page 17 and picci 262 on page 18. I forgot the number and pages of one or two other that moved me to rate comment.

Beautiful conversions too - wonderful tones! I dare bet she'd be thrilled if she were to see some of those!

I think the girl in Jon's series is called Sharon Thomas. More info HERE ... and I hope he'll correct me if I'm wrong.

Not at all. I got her name from the gallery series and just googled from there. I keep going back because it's such a dynamic, exciting series. Fantastic processing too - I love those sepia tones.

This series HERE.
