Portrait with a Hat

The rule of thirds are working for you in every direction, from the placement of the woman, to the round hat, to the landscape. Such a sad face, who sailed away from her?

I like the off-center subject. I wish there was some more interesting lighting and maybe a smile on her face.I like the hat against the black clothing.

Alberto,

 

Good image. Sad face actually makes the photo more interesting, but I sure hope the rest of her day was better.

Really a beautiful portrait. I like the subtle placement of the subject in front of the island point. Lovely, just lovely.

I really like it!

I love the expression that goes with the ambiance of the landscape. Very "morriña"

Hola Alberto y bienvenido de nuevo a la "lucha". Respecto a la foto ¿veo la sombra de un discreto "tapado" alrededor de la modelo o son impresiones mias?. Me hubiese gustado más si la modelo hubiera estado en la parte izquierda del encuadre.

This is a scan of a colour slide taken 22 years ago. Since the colours were faded and a big fingerprint stained it heavily I ahd to work hard with photoshop to get this B&W version. What do you think of the result?

Thanks in advance for any comments and ratings

It could be opnly me .but there seem to be a strange halo around the lady. On the other hand it is a good portrait. Regards PK.

A beautiful girl with an expression that is eve so enigmatic. How can I resist... Wonderful!

Alberto, overall I like this photo. Yet to my taste, you'd get more dramatic portrait if you'd move slightly so that the woman would be in left third of the frame while distant island would extend to the right from her.

 

Another option could be for you to move just a little bit left and ask the woman to turn overall slightly clockwise (on your current photo this would correspond to facing you full-front) and turn her head slightly further so that her look is aimed at the left side of the island.

 

Still, it's very nice portrait! Goot work!

Timeless.
