"Lady In Blue"

[Gus Cobos]

“Lady In Blue”

This pretty lady was playing in my backyard by the bird feeder. She was painted with a Nikon D200, using a Nikkor 200mm f/2.8 macro lens.


Note: The depth of field is extreamly shallow, focus point is center between the eyes.



Techs:
focal length @ 200mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / matrix metering / 1/30sec. - f/5.6 / exposure comp @ 0EV / ISO @ 200 / white balance @ cloudy / AF Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +2 degrees / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / no speedlight – ambient lighting / monopod assist /

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Really great focus on the eyes and leaf Gus, beautiful BG too which complements the dragonfly (or damselfly??).

Excellent work mr. Cobos! Everything seems to be right on this image. DOF, point of focus, position in the frame and I just love how all those colors complement each other. Congratulations on a fantastic image.
