mother by the wild roses... expectant mother

thanks for observations, will also probably submit it as a sepia version

I love the composition, her expression, hair and hand placement! Wondering how come the leaves and flower that she's holding, extending slightly to her left breast is brighter than the rest? Was it made lighter on purpose to highlight something? I think that if the white dress, flowers and leaves are a bit brighter (make them to be whiter and greener, respectively), it would make the picture more 3-dimensional.

 

My 2 cents.

Very nice pose - almost dream like. I LOVE her expression. Her eyes and lips are flawlessly captured.

 

As always, you have done an exceptional job in capturing beauty and the perfect pose.

I agree, really special face !

 

Good work !

 

Cheers !

A wonderful portrait, and it reminds me of some old romantic painting. A small point is the foliage in the bottom left corner. Great image. Regards

The special kind of beauty of the model and the suitable environment make it that!

Lovely Image. Regards

I love a lot your image! Bravo!...Ciaomau!

Wow ........Superb composition. You captured the essence of this woman. In some areas of the body I see shades of light mustard color that blends are not always the color of the skin. This particular course does not diminish the excellent work you have done.

Best regards.
