Tears

Andrey, this face simply doesn't need tears.

Sweet and somewhat touching image. The B&W works.Not sure the grain is needed. I would play with the lighting more to highlight and shadow the face more, making it more sculptural. You could probably bring the background down a bit more so that it doesn't draw the eye out of the image. Lovely girl. Good sharpness in the eyes.

Best regards, Andrey!

i luv the grain, the subdued blur, the sharp emphasis on the eyes. As i said of her other portrait... like a nostalgic old photograph of some woman's youth...    ;-} dp

Excellent portrait.

Best regards.

Such beautiful processing. The grain works so well in this image. Lovely!
