httpandrzejdragan.com 0 Posted May 12, 2007 It is the first time that things I do turn out to be helpful. For those of you who are fond of technical explanations (which is not really the most important here) - this portrait is not a computer trick. Link to comment
gluf 0 Posted May 12, 2007 It is so surreal how someone can go as far as this trying to be thin and beatiful... I wonder did she like these pictures? Nice picture from really delicate matter. Maybe a bit too much empty space above her head. Link to comment
leopoldo 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Andrzej: I find this photo to be striking and compelling, it amazes me that this beautiful woman has a dying soul that reflects her place in an uncaring, spiritually desolate world. Furthermore, I find it amazing that most of us who stopped to see your work have not asked how is she, what is wrong with her, It seems to me that her malnourished body indicates something is very wrong with her. But it seems that in this ever spiritually anorexic world, it is very important to praise the "art" over what it shows us. You have done well in converting human misery into art, in fact you deserve another cum laude for this picture, but the girl deserves at least one: HOW IS SHE DOING. Could you tell your audience what's become of her? Regards Leo Garcia - Venezuela Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 12, 2007 the photo is ,,endless,, but if this is a not manipulated photo than this girl have not much time left.She will die soon or -and I hope so - she gets the message that life has much more to offer than ,,this,, I wish her all the best and if she wants she could get a free stay and holiday here in Portugal becaurce NO_ONE ,,deserves,, to die like this Link to comment
hcaetano1 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Who see faces, don?t see hearts - Is a popular phrase on Portugal... This picture says everything... It's impersonating... Link to comment
tango_elturco 0 Posted May 12, 2007 I am curious why is she so malnourished, is it by choice, a disease? And why her face seems ok while her body is so thin? I really would like to know how is she doing? Great work by the way. Link to comment
httpandrzejdragan.com 0 Posted May 12, 2007 This photo has been taken over one year ago. The girl is on a good way and getting better thanks to the help of the specialists. Hernani: thank you very much for this interesting saying. I will keep that in mind. Andrzej Link to comment
zigzag 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Harrowing but compelling, even the slash marks on the wall. Great lighting. I hope she can look back on this one day and see her luck. Link to comment
mindstormphotos 0 Posted May 12, 2007 If her case is extreme anorexia neurosa leads to borderline personality disorder -a very nusty situation - how i know this ? ..15 years ago i photograph for an organisation similar cases i spent 5 days in an institution and i learn a lot .These people they do not need only the specialist but also good decent people near them to help them in every possible way .I wish her quick recovery -Your image is heart breaking -and well taken .....i believe this is an image for critique only .

syalphotography 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Such an artistic presentation of a starving human being, Andrzej! Great in Aesthetic as well as in Originality, my heart and soul for you!! Link to comment
atanu_ghosh1 0 Posted May 13, 2007 Very interesting subject. I initially though it is photoshopped and did not understand why it was rated so high. Now I understand. This is a photograph with a purpose. Hope the girl is getting better now. Link to comment

mmene 0 Posted May 13, 2007 I have vey mixed feelings about this picture. First of all I must say that it is a great artistic capture. In the other hand I am wondering if it is some kind of speculation on the human pain or not. I really do not know the answer. You have done well to take the shot but I am still wondering if you have the right to publish it or not. Please help me with your thoughts. Friendly Michael. PS. I can not rate it. Link to comment
rubaek 0 Posted May 13, 2007 My heart is bleeding for this young girl. Happy to see that she is doing better. Anoreksis is a terrible deciase. Makes the family feel helpless in every aspect. I too cannot rate this one. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted May 14, 2007 Yes, we all know the poor destiny of this stupid Girl, who was starving to be thin! What a Stupidity! So, now she is recovering, good for her! But, really Andrzej what is the point of this Photograph? She did it to herself, I will not pity her! Never! This is such a man vice! And I am thinking now of all those beautiful Children in Africa starving and dying of hunger, and it is not their fault, but the fault of the whole Planet! So, who needs a heart to pitty this so much so stupid young girl! I have more heart for those Children in Africa! So, what is the point of this photograph! To show the stupidity of This Girls, wanting to be famous and to have a lot of money! I am protesting against HER! Who needs such photograph! Go to Africa and do Photography! Biliana Link to comment
