Very nice! Very subtle!

I like it very much except for the shadow on the cheek and neck.

Wonderful soft light, nice pose, soothing expression on models face. I like the scarf it really adds a lot to this model. All Very Good!

Well, yes... That's a 7. :-) Splendid. I would be interested to hear what equipment was involved here as far as lighting goes.... Regards.

Welcome to photo.net Elena Zhurikhina. I recognize this image from other forums. It is one of the finest portraits I have ever seen and has even played an inspirational role in my current interest in photography.

Beautiful.

Excellent, Leona !!!! I want to see more of your fine works on photo.net.....

Splendid! Anna

Nice lighting. I like the black backround as well,

This is one of the finest portraits I have ever seen. The model's expression, the scarf over her head, the delicate, muted colors, the just-right separation from the background; I could go on, but the bottom line is that it's all wonderful!

Beautiful soft light is in perfect harmony with the subject.

 

An Excellent example of portrait photography.

Good

Great!

This portrait has a great "classic" feel to it. It well deserves the 7/7.

Gorgeous!

Competes with renaissance masters.

Like the previous comment...this certainly does have the look of that era. What a beautifully composed portrait. It is, without doubt, one of the finest I have ever seen! Thanks for sharing it.

Sensational portrait. I agree with Regina however, eliminating the shadow on her cheek would make it even better.

Kakya prelest'!!!

Great shot, Lena!

Absolutely love the portrait. The lighting is so soft. Even the multiple catch lights in the eyes are soft. Well done.

Undeniably wondrous. This is so good I'm not sure if it inspires me to work even harder to learn acceptable portraiture, or depresses me enough to give it up altogether ....

I had to come back to look at this after seeing your more recent post - both are just absolutely wonderful Leona - for me also some of the very finest portraits I've seen.
