Oh my goodness! The cat tails are so soft and it perfectly reflects the model. It doesn't take away, it not only subtly adds to the picture but to the model's personality as well.

This is a very lovely portrait. I really enjoy the tones that you chose to use...they definintely add a sense of warmth...more so than what was already there. The lighting is really well done. The hair light is fantastic...and you were able to have nice, soft, diffused lighting without losing much detail in the hair. This photo is timeless. It looks as if it could have been shot 20 or 30 years ago, or in the present. I like the placement of her face between the two fluffy plants...it creates a natural frame within the frame. It breaks up how centered the middle plant is. This is a beautiful and classic image!

i like it but lacks something....maybe contrast....im likeing the angle...mostly the foreground...model is great and so are the subjects....the background looks dead...there is a greenish effect which is good...but is over ruled by the ammount of dead twigs and branches

i love it. the colours and her facial expression are supurb. i would have prefered it if she had been more off-centre/ too the side. her being so close to the middle puts me off. but other then that i love it completly.

nice photo, you know what.. this is something i don't see much at D.A, what is it you ask...
the contrast. SO MANY photos are filled with high contrast, this one... no way.. lacks it, and A LOT.
dosen't look that dark at all and i really like it

i really like the composition of this piece. there's something about it that's a little annoying, though... i'm not entirely sure. it seems to lack intensity.... maybe. like the contrast is off. well done otherwise, though.

nice light for a natural looking image. It maybe lacks density, at least for my tastes. is it an analog image?

Looks like she sad a bit....Nice composition and evening (morning?) lightning.
About picture itself - to be honest - it is to noisy, landscape noice is ok, but noise on model face, Im not sure about that. Also it will be nice to remove small stick that goes through her hair in the middle of the photo.

Beautiful! I love the classic feel to the piece, a lot of that comes from the model's sheer beautiful elegance and the clothing choiece of a turtleneck. I love how the plants frame here face. This photograph is so wonderfully light and fresh.

I like the cattails, love how they sort of frame the model but what I like the most besides the lovely model is the black sweater she is wearing. Truly brings this image together. Love the colors and most of all, the light in her hair. Perfect!

mcismowski [2006-04-26 22:57:05 +0000 UTC]

Great lighting and tone. I don't like the cattails though because I think when there's so few in the foreground it just looks in the way instead of benefitting the photo.

Very Russian.

You might find my comment kind of odd, but it was my first reaction. Some explanation, though :
- Russian are more linked (attracted ?) to their Earth than other people.
- That could explain, why Tarkovsky keep shooting en plongΓ©e.

And your pic (color, composition, atmosphere, etc.) reminds me of Tarkovsky.

I love the tones on there!!
Love the crispness of the picture.
The model is pretty and I do like the facial expression.
The tall grass and plants really looks nice.

You know, the more I look at this .. it reminds me of a Sears Catalogue. It would make an awesome one!
