Portrait of a Katt

Photographers Comments
Took this the other day of a friend, any suggestions about photographing someone with glasses please. Shadows in the corner of the glasses spoil the pic. IMO

Hey Alex, nice work here. shadows like that are the last thing with glasses you should worry about. the first is non existent! and that is flare..so well done for not getting reflections or flare in those!
Overall great shot/ watch out for her arms near the front, makes them look bigger than they are and there seems to have been some loss of shadow detail on the rhs of her hair. exposure looks good, no highlights blown and you have good catchlights. all in all job well done mate

Nice portrait. If the shadows bother you then next time take two shots of the subject. One with glasses and one without. You can then use the one without to clone away the offending shadows.
Cheers

Agree it's a nice portrait. I'd be pleased with the end result if I was the subject
