Untitled

There is something sublime about this photo. Maybe it is the star-gazer lillies, perhaps it is the way the eye and lip makeup almost match the shade of red in the flowers, perhaps the interplay of the fragile looking porcelain skin with the dark hair and background. It could be all these things. But most likely it is the "combination" of all these things in a single photo which makes me appreciate it so much. Kind regards, m.

Incredible picture. There is still something I don't like about her hairs, maybe the light or the diagonal line, I'm not sure. Still nearly perfect, great!

I find this beautiful. From the tones and lighting on the model to the vivid colours and forms of her bouqet. Well done Chris.

Excellent composition. Theflowers really enhances the beauty of the lady.

The edge of the face seems razor cut, which seems unnecessary to me.

would prefer a slightly looser crop. also a wee bit too much overexposure of highlights, at least on my monitor...

Wonderful work

WOW! It's beautiful as is.... I would remove the white border though, the image stands on its' own!

Really splendid atmosphere here... I'd like the hair behind her to be slightly more defined, and the bottom flower to be complete. All else is just great. Regards.

I like the unreal porcelain skin, and the contrast between the "still life portrait" and the flowers. They completely alter the mood. It would be a sad piece with the face alone. I don´t mind about the hair, but the object at the lower right corner is very distracting for me (don´t know if it´s a leave, or just a reflex of the flash on her colth) and keeps atracting my eye. I´d also like to see the complete bouquet.

 

PS: great lighting, the flowers seems to be suspended in the air.
