johnorr 0 Posted August 9, 2002 WONDERFUL!!! My only small suggestion is I wish I could see just a wee bit more of the forehead area. I hope we see more great B/W images up here photo.net. Link to comment
axel-cordes 0 Posted August 12, 2002 It's a long time ago, that I found a image here which I was urged to rate. This one is simply great. So simpl, so much emotion. Link to comment
tom grubbe 0 Posted August 12, 2002 Did you give up your P67II for a digital? I sure hope not. This shot shows such ultimate care and attention to detail, I'm just blown away...(10) Link to comment

mjobk 0 Posted August 12, 2002 This is absolutely stunning! So sensual! As soon as I spotted this I was moved. What dramatic highlights on the soft tone of her face. How did you keep the water dark? My only thought is that I also want to see more of her forehead. Thank you! Link to comment
mg 0 Posted August 13, 2002 Not quite sure whether I'm right or wrong here, but I really don't share everybody's enthusiasm about this image. I mean, your POW shot was imo miles above this one emotionally, technically, and aesthetically.First, I miss the forehead too, and I find the crop on the left too close to the chin as well. But then, more importantly, the profile itself isn't very appealing with the strong shine of the water on the skin. The hair on the face are also too heavy imo, and what could have meant peace is now kind of stressful imho.Finally, the dark edge at the bottom, at water level, tells me that there has been too much light above water, and too little under the water level. I find this dark bottom border really disturbing, and it ruins the last hopes one could have to feel some peace here, while it is also quite prejudicial at aesthetical level. To me, this image is one of the weakest you have uploaded so far. Your POW was a 9 and a 10 for me, so I guess this would be a pair of 7s... Just my honest opinion. Regards. Link to comment

antonio_araujo 0 Posted August 14, 2002 Os meus parabéns, a fotografia é excelente...Já tinha visto agum dos teus trabalhos naquele site português de fotografia. E nesta fotografia reconheci logo de quem era. A tua abordagem é muita própria e uma expressão profunda. Isto é fotografia.Aproveito para convidar-te a ver algumas das minhas fotografias e gostava de um comentário teu sincero, talvez tivesse pistas novas. AbraçoAntónio Araújo Link to comment

jeremy_smith 0 Posted August 14, 2002 Umm, great photo, but why is there a Backstreet Boys song file attached to an above comment? It leads me to another question: was that really coffee that I just finished drinking? Link to comment
stanton imaging 0 Posted August 14, 2002 sorry dont agree with mark i think the dark base of picture holds the picture in and gives it shape, this is a top pic for me Link to comment
paolo1960 0 Posted August 15, 2002 Excellent portrait! It's so sensual in this light... Brava! Link to comment
detlef 6 Posted August 16, 2002 love how wet the skin looks ( was she just wet from the water or did you use oils?)...perfect image! Link to comment
robert stewart 0 Posted September 14, 2002 I would like to see a little more in the forehead area, but the tight crop works nicely. Bravo! Link to comment
claude-mtl 0 Posted October 23, 2002 Love the overall effect. Find that the dark area on the lower left comes a bit to abruptly. Link to comment
robert_tilden1 0 Posted November 14, 2002 Can't top the Back Street Boys music. What a great idea to post music! I think this photograph is on the cutting edge; a work of art in black and white photography that can't be achieved with painting. Link to comment
