My dear friend Ida in the evening.

Feel free to critique.. do you get the feeling that the summer is

about to end?

Soft ans intimate. maybe just a little bit too dark. Anyway, i like a lot :-)

Like it a lot. Bit of a melancholic atmosphere. My attention gets somewhat drawn to the empty, left upper corner though. But that doesn't stop me from liking it. So thumbs up for this one.

A great portrait! You have captured the beautiful lines and curves on her face with the evening light. The dark printing works well here.

Well done.

there's something about the lighting that I like...

The feeling that *pours* off this image is so endearing! For me, I see simply an enormous amount of affection and compassion...Love, plain and true. The angle and cropping of the photo expreses the gentle nature of your subject without removing her strength; her face says how strong her character is. An excellent portrait. Maybe a bit too dark, but that's easily fixed.
