it's a great portrait. the nearly black foliage and the gold-tinted skin tones give us an idea of the time of day, either sunset (as you tell us it was!) or sunrise. pretty image here!

Thank you! I wasn't sure if it was going to be good enough or not. It was a rather random shot but I mean, I feel that's what this is suppose to be about. Capturing a woman when she's peaceful, happy, and just really being herself. I know it's of myself, and I did not take this photograph... but I did edit it. Again thank you for your comment.

it is a terrific photograph, and both you and the photographer used your talents very well to make it. the only worry i have is how...passive (i guess that's as close to the right word as i'm going to get) you look here. i wish the photo were more dynamic, you know?
but it is wonderful as what it is: a portrait. it's an informal portrait, which is grand! and it's a lovely image!

you're welcome! i am doing the easy part, of course. thank you for your hard work!
as for my comments themselves, i like to use my schooling! i've had a lot of classes, but i'll never be any better than a 3rd-rate artist. who would want all those hours and dollars spent on art courses to go to waste? besides, when i comment, i'm usually trying to engage the artist in conversation, so perhaps i and/or she (or he) can learn a bit about the work and what was behind it. it's a win/win situation! i love those. (and i won't lie, i like to make people feel appreciated! nearly all of us who post on this site really enjoy getting comments, right?)
