Description I put this in Emotive Portraits because to me it projects a void of emotion, which I believe is emotional in itself. I just get an odd feeling from it. Am I off base? I dunno...

The model is Nicole.

an absence of emotion, well maybe. to me it looks more like she's waiting. thinking about what's going to happen after she puts on that red dress. i like the nice simple vertical flow here.

It's one of those pieces that look like it gives off a certain vibe-type sound.
Without the comic-style onomatopoeia.
That, and everything about this photo is beautiful. The lighting, the model, the colour scheme.
Great stuff, Kev.

You shouldn't feel odd about this image. You're right, there is the void aspect to her expression. Its a look that say's 'you shouldn't be looking at me but i can't be fussed if you do'. She looks so comfortable, almost seductive without any physical signs.....just those beautiful blue eyes gazing out of the image

I know you are tired of hearing "great lighting" as a comment but you know what ... too bad!

What I like about the lighting in this one is how it creates an aura around her. The pose is sensual but nostalgic all at once, if that is even possible. She seems lost in a daydream, I guess that can encompass both sensual and nostalgic so that's what I'm sticking with, it looks like she is lost in a daydream!

She is quite ther versatile model!

Maybe contrast a little too sharp? Dunno, still very good, she reminds me of an actress from somewhere.

I look at the picture, I expect her to smile,laugh, cry, toss her hair aside, but she doesn't. I continue to keep my eyes on her hoping that she will move about. Very emotive indeed.
Great job, it's gorgeous.

I don't think I've ever seen a more simply beautiful woman. There is always something a little off in some way, somehow, but it's non-existent here. At least I cannot find it in this particular capture. About the feeling you're getting, I agree about the blankness, but it's not quite blank...there's an ever-so-slight positive expression - it's in the bottom portion of the face around the lips. Ok, I know I sound uber-anal right now...but I've been staring at the photo for awhile (during a phone conversation). There's another part, and I wish I could describe it better, but I will do my best - it's in the alignment and mismatching of the eyes. If you look closely (if you even WANT to freakishly analyze it to this extreme!) at the left pupil, it looks wider, giving her a semi-strange look in her eyes - this is mainly because of the angle of the shot...you can see the black eyeliner above on that left eyelid actually merges and blends with the black colour of the pupil making that pupil expand into the upper left (when you compare the two eyes, all this makes a little more sense, I hope!). Then the hair slipping down so effortlessly next to that left eye draws even more attention to the eerie sensation...it's as though the left eye is NOT looking directly at the camera...but the right eye seems to be looking precisely at you, and there's something about that combination that leaves us with an undescribable feeling of awe. Whew! Hope I even came close to expressing some of what I am seeing. May I add again that she is flawlessly beautiful to look at!

ohh i agree, the blue in her eyes does so much for this picture. And I do get a feeling of a void of emotion from this, her eyes are such a brilliant color but there's not, I don't know, any spark in them. Though despite that, I find myself being pulled into this piece because of her eyes. Probably because of that blue, I almost get kinda lost there. And the way she's holding the sheet/cloth/blanket leads me to feel that way too. lol I am trying so hard to leave a somewhat intelligent response but my brain is just crammed with dates of tons of art and I can't think very well tonight! So sorry if none of that made any sense

I definately agree. Her eyes are what does it for me in this shot. Not just the color though, but the capture of her expression. She appears not to be looking at a camera, but at... well, me! Beautiful shot, Kev!
