Mike: I really like the concept here, and you have brought it off in a really thoughtful way. Looking down is "looking down" and looking up is "looking up". Looking down is averting the direct gaze of looking up.....it works very well. Fold in the meticulous style of MFC for a soft appealing portrait. Fremiet

I agree. The composition is excellent. I also like the silky smooth skin and toning. Also, the catchlights are in both eyes which really adds to the life of the image.

Nice work, MFC. I especially like the way the two profiles fill opposing corners of the image. Helen

:) This works on several levels, for sure... The actual direction of models' gaze, the framing and the emotive looking up/down displayed here forms a well thought and formed image. Nice work from the models too! :P
