PHOTOGRAPH INFO
Taken last night around 7:00 p.m.
I've had this idea for a long time to make a modern photographic book of Arthurian tales; who knows, maybe I'll get started on it this summer...
Post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

She's such a beautiful girl. She has a very classic look. This is a beautiful portrait.
Sounds like a great project. If anyone can do it, you certainly can.
Posted by Laurie on March 25, 2007 12:45 PMLovely, she could easily be a lady in waiting. Just lovely.
Posted by Noreen on March 25, 2007 12:59 PMAbsoultely beautiful.
I have seen the young king Arthur. He works at the Milford Pet store of a Sunday afternoon.
wow, outstanding feeling and colors!
Posted by otilius on March 25, 2007 6:43 PMHer wavy hair, pale but clear skin tone, and simple beauty do a great job of giving a legendary, medieval British feel to the image.

Posted by MarkDM on March 26, 2007 12:54 AMThis one has surely a lot to do with the Arthurian tales. However, when I saw the photo, I thought, of some Gone With the Wind 2007 Project. Who said that Vivien Leigh was irreplaceable ;)
Posted by Marta on March 26, 2007 9:23 AMI really love the color treatment you've been giving these portraits. Perfect.
Posted by Ruth on March 26, 2007 9:27 AMVery beautiful.

Posted by pat on March 26, 2007 2:46 PMaddendum. Uses the horizontal format as meaning: the shape = time: the past at the right, the future closed off at left, hidden until she decides. Her body will move forward (the negative spaces tell us that). The future is blocked; she looks not forward but within, for the choice is there.
First impression--very European! Guinevere has exceptional features (not to mention "beautiful"!) The image reminds me of one of the French painters who did a number of idyllic peasant girl portraits. Bougeroue?
And your skill for getting expressions is simply astonishing. Really Kathleen, how many shots did you pick from?
Once again your compositional thinking is the best........and as for a book project, can't we have a "2,536 of My All Time Favorite Images" kind of thing form you? you could start taking pre-orders tomorrow.....or latter today is fine.
Thank you, Guinevere. Thank you, Kathleen. And a Pre-thanks to the publisher cause any photography book you choose to do, I'm buying!
Posted by david tinnon on March 26, 2007 9:11 PMI told you that you should make a book ;) Beautiful portrait, the depth created by that lens is fantastic.

Posted by joghem on March 28, 2007 2:00 PMI love the non-traditional framing, the soft colors and purposeful use of shallow DOF here. You have some amazing and beautiful photos on your blog. Very inspiring...thanks!
