while i admire your excellent work , i am old school i know that today post processing is a must or you lose business , however of the ones i have seen this is an example of simplicity and beauty it almost look right out of the camera , great work in my humble opinion .

What makes this pic so intriguing , my first impression is she did not know

of being photographed , that is it she is a rare beauty (not your run of the mill cheese) , chisel cut face , no mundane  thrills .

possibly one of your best pics in addition to the one of a young girl sitting

on a fountain she has pigtails , not the poster child type of face that you find in any run of the mill magazine .

MY honest suggestion and with respect to your likes after all photography is an art , DO NOT SHOOT WHAT YOU SEE IN MAGAZINES>

This is such a beautyfull pic that with due respect i give you my thoughts

The rose is in a very strong first plane , if the idea was for this to show a girl

smelling the rose and daydreaming , the flower should have been tilted and or her head slightly downwards , i see a lot of post processing in the skin ,

most likely this girl did not need it at all (but it is your picture the way you like it so is art)

 

Please accept my comments as positive criticism  , overall is vey nice

it is just the way i see it .

will love to see another shot without the flower (the real flower is behind the rose)

Keep the good work

Very nice , sligtly overexposed I think???, would like to see more of her hair on the top ,the hand seems (to me ) like is somebody elses maybe it is the strong contrast with the coat.

Excellent lighting tech. and what an intriguing expresion, well executed.

You have a good picture as far as "the moment"

suggest some Pshop and erase the reflections of the round lights above and the frame of the window

Great job a good example of high key ltg .

Excellent control of shadows , a fine portrait.

Excellent choice of colors and form a good still shot

Alek : very well done , i would like to see the top of her head (my opinion) excellent shadows .

All the natural elements combined into a great picture , Outstanding///

Excellent shadows , a classic portrait.

Henry: beautiful composition , i will suggest cropping the left side a little bit , the kid and the long road ahead in my opinion is the highlight , the railing is a distraction I think.

Excellent composition, a very intriguin photo .

I would live it as is , for that is the way it really was, i avoid any manipulation in snapshots , i can see it in a portrait , but not in this nice pic.

I agree with the previous comment , also i suggest crop the smaller figure (out of picture ) make the red figurine the punch line , make look that she is airborne , the building behind and the sky are inmaterial (in my opinion) otherwise a very creative pic.

I think this picture have a strong message ,perhaps the tittle of the picture , or perhaps that childhood inocence that protected us from a harsh reality , but then again thats what i see ,

An excellent picture

That is as good as it gets specially at such low shutter speed , still an interesting pic .

A very nice blend of older and new technology , exquisite composition .
