Such a wonderful shot! I like the whole movement of your hair, it looks like you're falling or sinking and it's very dynamic as a composition. The colour of your hair is simply beautiful and it certainly draws the eye in, along with the curve of the neck. What is slightly distracting is the watermark placement. I understand the need for one, but I think it could be done in a more subtle manner so as not to detract from the stunning photograph.

Well thank you I probably won't move the watermark, mostly because it doesn't bother me and if it's too subtle then it's almost pointless. But thank you for the great comment

I truly adore this photo. There's this freedom and relief that I feel whenever I see it. The hair is organic and spontaneous and those are two qualities that I really admire in art. C: I really love it.

This is incredible. The colour of the hair, the whole shot in general.

Ooh, this is such a stunning shot!

I really like the direction, if that is what you call it. Like I like how you are upside down there? I feel as if there are so many ways to have executed this shot, so... yeah, it's quite interesting in that sense.

Part of me would like it to be more focused, but there is something in the blurriness of it and the way this is also a bit vintage-like in tone and atmosphere? I think they all work together well in that sense, anyway.

I can understand how difficult it may have been to have captured this.

Thank you!

I know! I wish it was more in focus too! D: But I was still quite happy about it, despite.

I wasn't really upside down, I just turned the photo

Ah... yes, I thought there may have been a bit of rotation going on there.

Your hai is really pretty but that is not what makes this photograph appealing - it is the lenghth of your neck and its curve (not sure if that's the right word) I would have wished for the hair to be more on focus, but since this is a self-portrait I guess you had little control over such things. Maybe upping the contrast a bit would make your haircolour pop out a bit more.
all in all this is a really sweet capture of movement.

Thank you - the out of focus hair is something that bothers me as well. As far as contrast goes, this was the best balance. I did later on do some similar photos with someone modelling for me and it turned out better

oh i see now xD I couldn't take a closer look into your gallery earlier on :3 WOW your EYES sure are AMAZING. big and GREEN wow. I love green eyes. my boyfriend's got green eyes, too xD lovely.
so back to the hair thing. yes those with the models are wuite nice, though i liked the ones with you as a model a bit more. maybe try out to find a similar perspective when shooting with models? I'd love to see something like that ^^
