Just A Portrait

You mentioned bathing in the lake ... why not make her the Lady of the Lake ! I'm sure you can do it . Bill

Have I seen her before? I'm not very good at distinguish people's face, because I'm foreign.Very interesting expression quite unique for a portrait, a bit haunting...especially the poppy(looks like an eye) leads my thoughts to somewhere else.. very imaginative.

Not just another portrait for sure!! Seems like a beautiful plastic doll or better like a lost fairy dreaming of her next flying journey...excellent work my friend!

Best Regards

P.S: Je savais pas que tu parles francais!

Here is a portrait artwork, resulted from your expertise in photography, as well as high skills of your model to get pose in such a surreal manner and look! Very well done! Bravo.

An interesting change Pierre, and a very successful one at that, bravo. I will not speak about the young lady (hmm, now who does that usually...) but the way in which she is treated here photographically. I guess you could not resist the temptation of adding the surreal touch of an extra eye, and it really works very well, somehow evading the  cliché effect that one might expect, maybe because it takes a moment before one  first notices it. The way in which the subject looks right through us also adds to the effect. I am a little surprised at your choice of black and white here and wonder if colour would not further increase the impact. At any rate, an intriguing picture, I really enjoyed looking at it, thank you. 

Very different from you, Pierre. Good p/p work - great artistic touch. Well done, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

Far more than just a portrait. She could be straight out of the "Stepford Wives" with that lifeless stare, curt smile and long brown hair. a well taken shot, nicely done. - Charles

Looks like I'm not the first to view this one Pierre... The stark lighting is most intriguing and it gives this a somewhat painterly quality. Bravo!

Wonderful portrait. The flower is almost as if it is a third eye, complete with catch light.

I do agree with Paul about Modigliani, great work you ve done Pierre!

Excellent work PDE !!! So nice to see a Portrait from you, a very intriguing face, beautiful, lovely eyes and lips. Very nice indeed....sincerely, Gail

The tone really works well with her beauty, Pierre...beautiful and well controlled lighting.

You are big master, Pierre. Beautiful and elegant! Regards

Mio caro amico, oramai ti scrivo in Italiano sia perchè sei bravo a usarlo, sia perchè così fai pratica! Un ritratto da te certo non si poteva immaginare se non "speciale"! Questo tuo lavoro, almeno per me, un gran bel "mix" di gusto spagnolo, olandese e...tanto collo alla Modigliani! Mi prometti che ne farai altri? Mi piacciono molto! Ciao, Mau!

The extra eye create a special mood here,a surreal one somehow,also vertical lines of this portrait and view directly to us make it very interesting,best regards.

Un ritratto classico e surreale allo stesso tempo, con un risultato fuori dal comune e veramente notevole!

Beautiful!!

A beautiful portrait !!! with a great expression indeed, I feel you have a great balance here.

Very arresting and unique portrait Pierre.

Well done

All my best,  Bill

just well done

Most original chellenging work; never seen so blue eyes in monocromatic immage...Dobra majstore, bravo. Pozdrav, vf

Pierre, a beautiful portrait. I love the waves in the hair framing the wonderful face. 

Waao Pierre ! this portrait is just fascinating !!! very special subtle 'distortion' the eyes, the 'flower-mouth-eye', the mouth and the eyebrows...

Fantastic !!!
