Maybe her forehead is a little hot, but this is pretty cool. Anyway, I don't want to mess with her, she looks like she bites back. Nice job.

MI PIACE IL TUO MODO DI RIPRESA. MOLTO NATURALE CVURATO NEI PARTICOLARI BRAVO!!!!!! CORDIALE SALUTO ALEX FROM ITALY.........

This is, to be sure, a very striking image. It's very effective at setting a

"night sophistication" mood. The colors are wonderfully muted and perfectly chosen. Everything has its match--the eyes with the seat, the wine with the lips, dress and jewelry, even the upper wall with the bracelet. Nice textures abound: seating, dress, stockings, hair, bracelet; you can practically feel the picture. The photo is like a perfect world. I like the way the woman pushes right up against the boundaries. It seems as if she implicitly recognizes the boundaries of her existence.

 

If the picture has any flaw, it's perhaps that it's so perfect as to feel a bit cold. Everything--hair, make-up, clothing, pose, lighting, setting--looks like it has been carefully planned, studied, and tweaked to the nth-degree. If I were forced to make up some flaws, the best I can do is that there are a couple of scratches on the wood along the left side, and perhaps the picture could use a very small rotation to the right (the top of the wine glass is not quite perfectly level). Obviously, I'm stretching to come up with anything--well done is an understatement.

David,

 

To your point about the sterile feel of this image, I like it. There is something too perfect about this scene, and I think the result is a plastic surreal effect that I think works. It's a great shot...I guess we take from it what we will.

Almost artificial, shall I say that it is too close to perfection? I think so.

Wow! Thanks a lot for such a great analysis. Yes, styling is great, and had been planned carefuly, as far as everything else, it's an improvization, just like most of my portraits. Composition was done on the fly, but overall image of perfection was a goal for the client.

It is the rare photo the attracts this much analysis. This shot deserves the attention.

Very classy!

I really like this picture, excellent.
