I did stop by the other day to admire your other photos, but didn't have time to comment then. I wanted to say that you have some very, very strong portraits, the type that keep me up at night green with jealousy. Any portrait I can envision days later is a great portrait in my book, and the above example is typical of many of your shots. Firest and formost is the expression you have captured. I think it is a real shame more people don't take images like these of the people close to them. After all, we do not go around all day smiling like a camera is pointed at us. We have pensive moment, sad moment, angry moments and simply bored moments, and I think portraits such as this one tell us much more of what makes up a human being than the smile for the camera shots. The feelings of your subject are well reflected on the deep blacks of the shadows. The girl's left hand makes for a strong counter-point to her beautiful eyes, and with the curve of the white piping on the collar of her shirt lead the viewer's gaze endlessly back to the girls face. The close crop gives us the intimate feeling you want in such a private moment in her life. This is a haunting image, made bold with the tones you have used. Excellent -
