d-h 0 Posted June 16, 2005 Probably the best portrait I've seen on PN. The lady featured is model material. Fantastic. Link to comment
AJHingel 127 Posted May 26, 2006 In my view this is one of the best in your very impressive portfolio. There is a very strong presence in this portrait and a clear sign of interesting personalities in front and behind the camera. Perfect ! Link to comment

AJHingel 127 Posted February 27, 2007 Marco, please try to explain why you prefer the other photo you give link to. For me this portrait communicates personality - the other is only a postulation. Link to comment
hadi habib 0 Posted April 18, 2007 Oh wow, I love it, it's mesmerising.The freckles!Emerging forth into the light, those rings reflected in her eyes, her entire look.I can't help but look right back.Lovely. Link to comment
doctorbabaguy 0 Posted February 3, 2008 Obviously forceful, excellent balance of composition, terrific grain, tonality, contrast, sharpness and tint, but, alas, those ring flash reflections off the pupils mar the photo irreversibly for me...from a potentially deeply moody persona I come down to earth with a thud by discovering that she is behind a flash against a propped up curtain...alas!

cat_guidry 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Wow...this image is amazing! The "texture" on her face...lighting...eyes and lips are sooo sharp! Beautiful Link to comment
lauren_smith 0 Posted March 5, 2008 The freckles are very cute, and I don't mind the work on the eyes at all. What i find unsatisfying here is the artificial shadow cast on her jowls which makes her face come to a too-sharp point at the chin. The ears lead down to her chin, and though her forehead and upper cheeks are highlighted, I find my eyes being led all over the place. The heavy black background which envelopes her feels like a barrier or distance which the ring light ought to have eliminated. If I can see such details in her eyes, why do I feel so far away from her? I like your photo of Radu much better because I feel like he's tangible and immediate. Eileen seems disembodied and distant. The gray texture which works so well in the Radu photo just makes Eileen cold and "stone-like". Link to comment

semper fi 0 Posted October 23, 2008 Found it again. This was the photo that kinda inspired me to start taking pictures a couple years ago. It's one of very few that I can sit and look at for minutes on end and not get bored. It just kinda draws me in. Constantly engaging and revealing new minute details with each glance. Job well done.
