Girl

Dear Pierre,

 We all know and love your abstract work, but this shows us where you get your inspiration from, and this is the other side of your photography. So you gift us with this lovely portrait with a beautiful background and we say thank you! Take care my friend.

Best,

Holger

Holger's comment just prior to mine pretty well sums it up for me too!

Besides, . . . he said it much more eloquently than I could!

Beautiful lady, I like the eye contact and genuine sincere smile!

Cheers & Regards always,

Jim j.

Thank you, Holger,

Very diplomatic comment considering the tittle of the request for critique, ha!

Cheers to that, my friend!

PDE

Thank you, Jim

You are certainly eloquent enough, my friend! I missed your eloquent comments since you were absent for quite some time! I'm glad to hear from you!

Thank you, Stephanie

Very nice comment, bravo! So poetic and precise description of my picture!!

Hi Pierre. I love the colorful background you used for this portrait. She has nice expression and a beautiful smile. The composition is good too. But there is only one element that distracts a bit: the shade. I would like to see   this picture without it, but it is a matter of personal taste. 

Kind Regards,

Rosario.

Thank you Rosario,

Excellent comment and a task for me, I will call you too see the version without the shade as soon as I make it!

Cheers to that

PDE

Done!

  You have done a good job here, Pierre.  Now the picture is perfect!!!

Hi Pierre. I did have surgery. It has been 2 1/2 mos now and I am progressing well. Still do not have full range of movement in my arm and shoulder, but I am doing my exercises and taking care not to hurt myself again. Things are much better now, THANK YOU for asking Pierre.

Thank you, Rosario,

I did it just to satisfy your refined taste Mme!

Cheers to that!

Dear Gail,

I'm very glad to hear that your state of health is improving, slowly, but surely! In a couple of months you will be as good as new! At least, I wish you that!

Cheers

Another  such a charming portrait, fantastic exposure control which makes  great layers on face & smooth skin tones, also the nice bg. makes subject eye catching_stand out! perfect balance to composition, PDE, very well execution for this tasteful piece!      Best regards.

Pierre,

A great image of a beautiful girl, beautiful b/g, and it has the feel of a classic pose.  Bravo!

Thank you Richard,

Very thorough expressing of your observations, I can only add that this picture was made (taken) in a very miserable environment and with direct flash of a compact camera!

PDE

Thank you Bill,

As I said above I am also very satisfied with the final result especially regarding the overall circumstances!
