Hola Francisco, Please accept my compliments for a VERY nice portrait, technically and esthetically superior to most. It reminds me of the (years ago) portrait of the Afghani girl with green eyes (National Geographic?) There is also something paradoxical in the familiar face of the woman juxtaposed against the exotic clothing she's wearing. (Is it Moorish?) I also enjoy the deep colors of her ruddy complexion and the rich hues of her clothing. Need I go on? :>) Thank you, Phil (a prodigal son of Spain)

Hi Jon,

I love your image just as it is, especially how th colors in the sunset are picked up by the rocks in the foreground. While I was staring at it, I wondered if you'd consider an alterntive version in which the blue stone in the very center appeared lighter than the surrounding rocks. As it is, that stone seems unique or special in some way, and a little additional light would make it more obvious. Of course, this would be an entirely different image, and it's beautiful now.

Best regards,

Phil
