Real fine photo. The B&W is a beautiful addition on your great model.

Nois is no problem here.

Indeed, to continu in squaire is real great!

Amazing... Really stunning, can't wait the day I can have the skill to take a photo like this. Truly remarkable

An excellent portrait. Great tones. Lighting. Expression.

absolutely love it

very beautiful photo.

I am sorry to be a critic but...

 

The really good thing that exists in this photo is the model. The setting is not correct according to my criterion and assurance that of different many people. If we change to the model it would not be the same thing ... 5/5

realy one of the most beautiful portrait i have never seen in photo.net, it's not a beautiful snap for the amzing model but the tone and the location are very very interesting. congratulation 7/7. claudio

Excellent portrait, beautiful model, good tone. Nice work, DDD

Great picture of a beautiful girl. Fantastic eyes!

just seen this on the homepage. its really stunning! well done

Very nice picture...very good shot...and I have no idea what to say more ;)

this is a nice photo, but you definitely have a great model on your hands, use her as much as you can, she has those eyes, remarkably beautiful eyes, where do you live? can i borrow your model?

Is it me or is this exquisite portrait dull and flat. There are no bright highlights or full blacks. It seems to me that it would greatly benefit from a bit more contrast. It does however have a very soft and gentle look to it, but this is negated by the white "Bokeh" above her head.

 

These norhtern european women are almost as beautiful as those from northern India and Myanmar, IMHO

 

Also, I do love those east block/ Ukrainian lenses!

 

Cheers

 

 

 

I hate to be crass about this, but you guys are just lusting after the girl.

Yes , I too think the picture is nice- by way of default. In other words

Mr Romberg did'nt do anything wrong to screw up this portrait. But the reason

that the shot is so strong is-,its the girl- stupid!

In addition to that I'd like to say that , Romberg used the right lense,

and the correct exposure , and he has the sense to know when to take a picture. But who would'nt under these circumstances?

 

Why I'd go so far as to say that, you could take a picture of this girl

with a throw away camera, and still have something good to look at.

Yes , film is by far the way to go. The reasons are to me is the different

characteristics and personality that film offers. I do not have much exprience

with digital, but organic is always more rich and flavorful. If you don't believe that, take another look at the girl in the protrait.

Please, I do not mean to offend the young woman in the picture.

Its just my observation.

 

one more thing. Mr. Romberg, beautiful!

An absolute perfect shot.

Great shot...just a beautiful portrait. I forgot how much I liked the Ilford XP-2.

Just beautiful. The swirl of the oof trees is fabulous so I don't like the crops offered above - I don't know if there's a way of losing the (in my view) slightly excess headroom without losing some of that effect? If there isn't, don't bother!

Perfect!

Great portrait, and beautiful model as well.Congrats.

Outstanding model, pose, personality, framing, contrast and grain. Stunningly beautiful. But I think the oof bokeh is not very attractive, especially the cluster of light at top right of the model's head, the bokeh is harsh and detracts from the otherwise beautiful portrait. You can easily crop out those oof lights, though I think the balance of the original will be diminished but what you gain by eliminating the ugly bokeh will more than compensate what you lose in your original composition.

 

This is a lovely image and the details are stunning.

Gorgeous portrait!
