My Beautiful Wife
Photo Information
I took this portrait yesterday, just before we went out. It is shot in soft, natural, early evening light with the K-5iis and Sigma 105mm DG EX Macro lens. If anyone who has this lens has not tried it for portraits I would recommend you give it a go - it is fantastic for this type of work.

PS: Shaun and Giulio, I would like to know your views on whether the contrast needs to be increased a little on this shot, or is it OK as it is? Thanks in advance for your advice.

The contrast seems to be fine David

That's a stunning portrait - the light is wonderful - such perfect skin tones.
I don't think you should increase the contrast here as it would spoil the lovely softness you have achieved.

I'm not so sure...the light is lovely and the perspective afforded by the focal length, perfect. I'd definitely try a slight increase in contrast to add some facial modelling, after all, you've nothing to lose, David.
Best wishes,
Andrew

I would agree with Andrew, a bit of contrast would help make the picture glow and even bring out the eyes. But 10 different people could play with it and give 10 different results, as long as your happy is the main thing, (particularly in this case )
