oh man...she is gorgeous,Andre.
what a fabulos profile she has
i would really love to have her in front f my camera
i am jealous !
:)
Andre du Plessis  Bet that you will! Well, Stacey is yours should you ever wish to travel down south. As I mentioned, both in this one, and II - this girl is a born model, and I am really going to keep up relations with this family. Who know, maybe one day I shall photograph her when she is a teenager. I really hope so. Thanks Monique!

......serious attitude problem! If looks could kill? I think that of the two shots of Anastasia that I have seen this has to be more captivating though it would have been better she was looking at you. The folded arms as well just reinforce her "little madam" looks! Another splendid addition to your burgeoning portfolio here!
Andre du Plessis  Thanks Gerry. After this publication I again went back into the files to see if there was anything else on Stacey that I can work into an image, and it stuck me that in every frame I have of her, none are akward in appearance, even the ones that I took candidly - her photogenicity allows her to come out impressive in any frame. Might just see if I can try another ... :) Really looking forward to re-visit this family. As far as the little madam look -spot-on!

Andre, When I see this expression I think...may her husband have a lot of patience and humor...because i cannot imagine her taking him seriously. :) Great moment.....she will be a powerful woman. I know she will enjoy this shot of herself! Anastasia 3? I missed two, but I hope it is coming still. Congratulations. Phyllis
Andre du Plessis  Hi there Phyllis. Anastasia I was the original one of the straight-on look that ended in Critique. I agree that she definitely seems like someone that will cast a long shadow. I certainly hope that she manages to get the educational opportunities and challenges that seemingly will walk in par with her appearance. I shall keep tabs on this family, and visit again to ask more about them and the kids. I have a feeling that there might be more piccies awaiting me at Stacey's house. Thanks, and regards, Andre

Some how you have captured an old head on a young body, both you pictures of her give me the impression she has seen more of life than her years.

Great shot and processing

Cheers Chris
Andre du Plessis  Hi Chris. I agree - she most certainly gives that impression, especially in the earlier Anastasia II. To see how this image came about, read down where I replied to Linda's comment. I shall go there again in January .... maybe she can gift me with some more of her particular portraits. Thanks, and BW, Andre

Andre du Plessis  Thanks Thomas. I personally like this one quite a lot, however, I think that I can appreciate this better now that I have become familiar with the straight-on portrait of Stacey.

This has 'MADAM' written all over it. The facial expression and stance with arms folded gives the image a strong feel to it. Like it, like it lots.
Andre du Plessis  Hi Glynn .... now you really made me laugh. I can now appreciate this as 'madam' so acutely:) Well spotted, and thanks for sharing that with me. I guess that you must have traveled down there. The satirical Madam & Eve comic strips jumps to mind ... I am sure that you must be familiar with them. Cheers!

A very strong image. I liked this one during the voting session.
Andre du Plessis  Glad to read that Aneurin ... thank you!
Yes, I thought it was your. Well done, Andre!
Andre du Plessis  You were right ... I decided to re-visit my files on this girl called Stacey, and rather liked this one, and although it is quite similar to my earlier publication on her, the profile view of this child seemed to carry enough impact, and thus I hoped to get this accepted. I think that the two portraits might work well as a diptych .... an idea that Stephen Edds put into my mind.

eye catching profile Andre
Andre du Plessis  Indeed she has Linda, however, this image was not planned. She was looking straight at the lens, as I asked her (Anastasia II), but some of her friends were making fun of her, thus the momentary stare to the left. I managed to catch that glare as I had her already framed and was working with a tripod. Thanks, Andre

Andre du Plessis  Thanks Adrian. I am looking forward to try the diptych of this one and her previous publication. Never went down that road before, but it might hold potential here. Regards, Andre

Andre du Plessis  Yes Svetlana, she photographs so strongly. Which of course makes my bit so much more easy. As I mentioned down below to Colmar, I do not really know her or this family well, but shall pay a visit to this village again within a few months to follow-up from my last visit. Thanks, Andre

Good portrait and good B&W development. She seems a "determined type".
Andre du Plessis  I think so Colmar. Admittedly, I do not know Stacey well, as I simply asked for permission to park my car immediately outside their front gate, and then I saw this little girl with the irresistible hairstyle, and immediately decided there and then that she will be my 1st subject:) Looking forward to present this family with the two portraits of her, printed side-by-side. That will happen in January.
