Self portrait

tnx for critique

I usually won't comment on someone's self-portrait, but I'll attempt it ONCE.

 

The first thing I noticed were the eyes, I cannot help it, I love eyes. I'm assuming those freckles are real and not painted on, I like those too, for personal reasons as well as making this photo work. There's a time and place for makeup, but all-to-often people cover things up, hiding the natural.

 

The "lines" of the photo work, for me at least. The light, contrast, and shadows make it rather dramatic, also a good thing.

 

Great photo of a talented woman!

Thank you for this comment :) I like it a lot

But personally I feel it is a bit too black, in particular the left side which makes the hair less visible than it could be.

Nice portfolio too, by the way.

 

More I look at this picture... more I like it.

First your eyes get my attention, later skin, later...

Please keep shooting self-portraits. Thanks for this one.

Beautiful dramatic shot. I like the pose; while it's quiet in itself, the style of the photo leads one to the fire in the eye, which bespeaks the artist. Well done.

One of the Best self-portraits I ever seen, the look on your face is so Deep and the B&W makes it perfect, Nice Work

An enchanting and moving self portrait -- and a beautiful image. Regards...

STRONG!

B E A U T I F U L .

Tnx to all for the comments and beautiful words!

No matter the left dark side, it goes well with the natural of the photo, and this self-portrait is amazing, and the result beautiful.

Please shoot and post more !

I like many photos of your portfolio a lot.

 

Very beautiful. Strong and fragile at the same time. Eyes like a deer, and the pose too almost resembles an animal, open-minded, alerted to a possible threat, but curious enough to watch and not run, yet. Thats' my interpretation. A very good self-portrait, one of the best I've seen.

Intelligence, feminine, sensual and captivating beauty. This self portrait (difficult to do always) is an excellent work of aesthetics. Chapeau for you.

Privet! (Hi!)

 

I like this image a lot, it jumped at me from amongst the bw-portraits. I like the contemplative mood and the intense look into the camera (actually at me, the viewer, and in this case also reviewer). The freckles seem a bit too intense (although they might be like this in real life too), but they add a lot to your personality. The not very orderly hair fits nicely into the mood.

 

The tones and lines in the photo are very good, EXCEPT for the 1/4 of the area on the left. That's my only critique, that this area is so undefined and "unmotivated" -- quite opposite to the rest of the image.

 

How did you manage this self-portrait? I mean, so perfectly composed, so well in focus, etc. And how do you run to the camera, trip the shutter and then run back in front of the camera and look so not-at-all-attached to the world, not at all thinking about the technical aspects of the image? Respect!

 

Great image, enjoyed it a lot!

 

I like this portrait...very revealing I think. Nicely composed and the B&W tones and textures are just great....my favorite part though are the freckles :-) Nicely captured.

great

 

so you really can work alone and make really beautifull and full of sensitivity portrait

 

you have in one hand a model and in the other hand a photographer

 

lucky you are !!!

 

best regards

i like how the boldness of the unabashed hard-edged treatment of the details fits the intensity of your gaze. suggests your ability to see like only a photographer can...

Wonderful portrait. Lighting and processing are great. Very nice work. FS
