About "If you want to learn how to make a good portrait, firstly go exercise with yourself as a model." So I was told by an occupation photographer. The most difficult was "how to look into the camera".... I just didn't know were to look. Now I know.... never look right into the camera; focus your eyes on something else. So this portrait is a mistake... I was waiting for the camera to click and counting the seconds to go... forgetting all about "the look". Well, in a way I liked the result... serious looking me. So no smile this time, I will remain exercising (LOL). The only thing I have edited here is the backgrond; a little darkening in PS. I will appreciate all your comments on this one.

first of all, let me state the best thing i like about this portrait - it is the blurry dark background.
so i suppose, your'e as good at PS as you are at the real canvas.
i like it also because i had no idea of how a friend like you exactly looked liked.
and now i know that i have a beautiful lady as a friend, who takes beautiful pictures, and paints beautiful paintings. and this is what art is all about - realizing the beauty around and inside, and then translating it into words, photos, paintings, or music. to me its a divine purpose.
the disturbed skin on the left does not distract me, and i cant explain why but it does seem good. and the serious look gives the impression of a lady with a deep personality, which ofcourse, you are - and all good artists like you are.

Diana - I like the direct look into the camera. It gives this a self-portrait like look. There are some nits to pick. The hand appears to wrinkle the skin a little (must have been resting on the hand). Also while the strong front light (on camera flash) leads to the direct look, I wonder if a little more assymetry to the lighting would improve the figure.

Greetings, Diana. I see that little girl in the wooden shoes grew up and turned into a princess. I just finished viewing every photo at your web site. Not only did Little Diana turn into a princess, you also became an accomplished artist with paint and camera. Your entire portfolio on your site is awesome. I did not see one of your paintings that I didn't love.
My best wishes,
Jimmy

About the model: "Belle comme je t'ai toujours imaginée". "And young & fresh like your paintings..."
_Well, this was subjective. But I can't deny all the seduction I find in your works!

Neil Dolman   {K:26883} 2/6/2004
Hi Diana, I wouldn't want to take a portrait of myself -
don't want to break my camera ;-) But you can, did, and succeeded! OK you have everything going for you, not like me. You are a very good photographer and you look great, these are just two of the qualities that you have and i don't :-)
Seriously though, thanks for your recent comments and the retouch you did for me, i know what you mean and appreciate you telling me. The problem for me is i do it on a Laptop and the TFT monitor is not calibrated very well, problems with where i sit, what angle is the monitor etc, how tired i am. So i'm always scared to do too much to the photo. But i'll keep it in mind for next time. Thanks for your help. regards from Swizerland. Neil

Schitterend zelfportrait. Ja, een beetje serieus maar de uitdrukking in je ogen vind ik erg mooi. Je ziet er prachtig uit, toch heb ik een kleine opmerking. De hand onder je kin ontsiert en leidt een beetje af. Ik kan hier zien dat je vrij gespannen was of beter, dat je het erg moeilijk vond je een houding te geven. Maar zelfportrait zijn eenmaal erg moeilijk en ik heb nog niemand gezien die ontspannen voor de camera gaat staan om een foto van zichzelf te maken. Ik doe je zeker niet na en dus, al met al heb je absoluut erg goed gedaan, Diana.
Prettig om op deze manier met je kennis te maken.

Good one, especially for something as difficult as a self-portrait. You might find it funny but I have a Dutch friend who looks pretty much like you and I kindda freaked out when I opened the pic because I just couldn't believe how much you guys look alike.
Loved it.
Cheers,
Hanna

Just to start with and set the comments level I rate it with 7/7.Excellent.Second you?ve beautiful eyes,so, my advice put them in foreground even if you have to take them out .No, take,instead a macro ,they deserve all detail.
Second,forgett rules.If you feel good , look at the camera,if you don?t , look away. But never stay frozen,rigid.Be at your ease, this is the only thing in which I believe.
Thanks for your comments to my tango pictures.If you had a look at my Caminito series,you?ll find out I love saturated color.Even in this Viejo Almacen, I had to find way to cast color.That?s my way.
Regards and thanks
jorge

Inderdaad Diana, te serieus en ook met de uitdrukking van is die nou klaar of niet die zelfontspanner. De belichting is best wel goed. Heel goed gedaan.

Hi Diana; beautiful picture of a beautiful lady! I like it, and the background is excellent too. BTW, I'll have to try the technique you've explained for doing a self portrait as I'm pretty terrible at it and not as good looking as you either;>) Happy Holidays. Craig

Nice to meet you Diana. You are nice looking !
You are right, a self-portrait is so demanding. What is it ? I'v tried but feel so uncomfortable, like suspended in emptiness. You've done it though, and quite well as a matter of fact.

Oh, Diana you are so beautiful and very serious but I can see your upper lip wanting to make a smile ha ha ... great portrait of yourself. but next time dont look in the camera ha h a.. good advice. you look very wonderful. I like it! I prefer sometime the half face, meaning for you to show more of your left side, or right, and a look at the side
;-) even myself I am not satisfied with my selfportraits, but I have one, that I will post very soon ;-) I prefer portraits that are more artistic, like the MOther`s love :-)
but I didnot do it myself, but a friend of mine manipulated it. I have to learn the PhotoShop ;-0) Thank you dear Diana.
Kisses and Love,
Biliana

Diana, ik zie dat vaak ook in portretten die met mijn camera van mij worden gemaakt, die blik van: als dat maar goed gaat. Jij hebt dan wel weer het voordeel dat je er goed uitziet. Maar echt een 'prachtig mooi' portret is het niet geworden, ik hoop dat je me dat niet kwalijk neemt. Hoe was het met de mistletoe?

Diana, mooi je ook op deze manier te zien.
Je wilt graag wat commentaar op deze foto.
Als ik er naar kijk. zie ik dat ik jenie in d eogen kan kijken , want ze kijken naar een punt boven mij.
De hand van jou leidt af van je gezicht en is net of die van iemand anders is.
Zo heb ik je eerlijk mijn mening gegeven
Dat laat onverlet dat het een mooie foto is van een groot persoon, die veel karakter in haar foto,s legt.
Heb fijne kerstdagen
Beste wensen van Teunis
