Sony A7R2 - Batis 85/1.8

High quality: https://flic.kr/p/L28pa8

So far, so good !  

  

I see an odd mix conventional approach and defiance of

convention. Convention is in the softening effects and in

the "female innocence" expression. But the guardians of

convention would object to the head-on pose, the lighting

and possible tell you the you MUST have catch lights in

the eyes. Personally, I am pleased that the defiance side

of the ledger is greater than the compliance side :-)

I see this shot got the SAR Photo-of-the-Week award. To me,

that reminds me of what I said above, that you mixed both

compliance with some conventional expectations and defiance

of convention in other aspects of the shot.

 

The defiance of convention and cliche sets the shot apart from

other less innovative "pretty lady" shots ... but it has enuf of the

"comfort zone" conventional qualities to prevent a majority of

viewers from rejecting it on first glance it as being "too radical".

 

I hope you're aware and skilled about the fine line you walk so

that this one award winner isn't just a happy accident. Whole

idea is to lure viewers who mostly fear to leave their comfort

zone, but stealthily take them to the very edge of that zone ...

or even lure them a bit outside it without "scaring them away"    

 

Best to you !
