Mystery Girl

[Kerry Perkins]

Something a little different because I've been doing a lot of people photography lately. My little models make me look good by striking spontaneous poses like this. I don't give them much direction, just hand them some props...

I used Nik CEP, a recipe that I made using the vignette, blur vignette, glamor glow, and pro contrast filters on the base image. Then I used Topaz Lens Effects for the selective focus effect, much like a Lensbaby would do. I loved the way Allie made interesting angles with the parasol and fan, and the mysterious eyes she placed so perfectly just made my pulse race a bit when I clicked the shutter. I couldn't have asked for a better arrangement of everything.

Those eyes, very nice work. Love the tack sharp eyes, with everything else having a blur to it...

[Dennis Bishop]

Very nicely done. Good composition, and I really like the selective blur. The color combination works well, too.

Kerry, this is beautiful. I love the eyes and the blur and the colors.
