blowing it out on the one side was intentional... my model only got a few hours of sleep the night before, and she had crazy cicles under her eyes... since i wasnt paying her, i went ahead with the shoot anyways. i overexposed slightly to see if i could get rid of the circles without losing the entire portrait... I still shoot film, and people pictures are new to me. im just experimenting ;) thanks for your comment.
Can't understand why this hasn't had any comments, maybe nobody noticed that eye contact! I like intense portraits so this one's fine by me, though perhaps a bit blown out on her left cheek. Good to see people still using a Jupiter 9, it's an excellent portrait lens, I have one, though must admit I haven't used it for ages. Regards, Gary
