This is beautiful work... I love the strands of hair with a little backlighting...

great shot, interesting expression captured

Very good photo, great lighting.

The tonal gradation is there, the sharpness is there, but the crop looks funny to me. Perhaps vertical framing would work? Also, I find the busy background to be somewhat distracting.

i like this picture. good expression.

This is a very beautiful picture - great expression, lighting and printing. The DOF was selected perfectly. I might wish to have the background (i.e. the sunny ground) burned it a bit with a low filter to take away some of the brightness surrounding her. This is a very excellent photograph!

This should be looked at along with the other portraits. It has that distinct style which captures a glistening moment in the subject's life. Beyond that, it also reflects the model's reaction to the photographer, which is why no two portraits taken by different persons are ever the same. Very interesting. Well done.

Great DOF here. This individual has a nice expression and as John pointed out, it comes out through an interaction with you as the photographer.

One of the very good portraits in this site. Her look is beautiful and your selected DOF the sppropiate one. Her position in the frame very good.

alluring!

grabs attention like a magnet! great moment, congrats

thank you all for your ratings and for taking time to commentate. regards,

Excellent portrait, perfectly implemented, and the wind was on your side. Congratulations.

thanks Thomas!

Now that I see it again, I would cut one second of exposure of the paper, to bring out detail in the eyes. But its a great portrait, in the sense that it shows clearly a link between the photographer and the subject. Congratulations!

Poor girl needs some sleep.

Good observation, Brandon! You're right... :). my regards,

What a complicity in the eyes !

Love the expression. Congrats.

My favorite in your portfolio full of fine portraits. This one because of the freshness, expression and the tonality. Though your digital shots are generally tack sharp, I like the tonality of your film photos best. Regards, and lovely stuff.

Thanks, Barry, for a great comment! Cheers

I like this! A smile like mona lisa :-) Best Regards Markus
