What a strangely moving portrait! You have done excellent work with the light and the way you have set highlights. The image seems to be somewhere between deeply personal and holy shrine. Excellent work!!!

I agree with Otto, this is superb.

the contrast and the light are perfectly rendered, Katerina, as always with your skill. in this particular shot i'm compelled by where you were positioned with your camera to get the drooping effect and the powerful emphasis on her hands and feet, while retaining such an eerie direct stare from her eye. this is exquisite. you are at the very top of my favorite photographers ;-} dp

It's beautiful!
