Steemit Portrait Photography Contest Week 55 - Judge's review
Here is the review of weekly #portraitcontest by @jasonrussell
Next week #55 and continue good tradition for short reviews.
The theme "Golden Hour" purely means portraits shot during so called golden hour - normally about one hour after sunrise or before sunset, when sun rays passes through the atmosphere with very low angle providing very warm colors
Regret, but have to skip some entries which were just golden color and not related to above criteria
1st place by @aperterikk
Pretty cool fashion portrait, especially like the hat here. Such interesting details always making the portrait to stand out. Very well used contre-jour.
By lights in the eyes can say either fill flash was used, either reflector to lighten the face.
Interesting color grading and still noticeable nice bokeh. Well done
2nd place by @dreamsaboutcats
Great portrait at colorful sunset using same contre-jour technique. Quite matching colors of the sky and the dress. Not usual composition bringing the view out of the frame, but works well here
3rd place by @barbarabezina
Perfect silhouette and very good composition and framing. Totally golden warm feeling

Sensual outdoors portrait. Maybe sun not really visible, but definitely some warm feeling of the shot done closer to sunset. Interesting composition with multiply elements coming well altogether

Amazing combination of portrait and landscape view of mountains and the sea of clouds. Pretty philosophical even...

Stunning sunset colors and again perfect model play
