Hey Rangga,
I would like to bring something to your attention: the position of your model there is not really the best: in the background you can see this vase/plants just behind her and it looks like it´s coming out of her head. it´s not very obvious because it´s dark but once you see it, it´s quite disturbing. it would have been easy to avoid by removing it or choosing a different position.
And also, IMHO, the fact that she is wearing black on a black couch and with a black background is making her fade into the background.
But the good thing is I think she is very pretty and that you captured a very glamourous expression :-)

yep, i´ve been there as well. pretty impressive place. i really like the moment of your picture with the soft warm colors. and i also like the silouhettes of people walking by. i think you took it just at the right time!

strong capture. i like the expression. good candidate for a b&w picture. see workshop for another version.

Hi Cindy,
I like this portrait because of the attitude of the girl, but personally, i find the tones a little too "warm" and IMHO it does not really match the picture (the winter coat). Plus there is a quite darker area that i also find a bit distracting. i did a workshop for you to show you some tricks with PS. hope you like it.

Hi Lewis,
to me, apart from the fact that the girl is looking out of the frame, what i find more disturbing is that the grey tones are too strong and i think that a more contrasted black/white would have worked better to match the atmosphere...just IMHO.
good capture though.

Klasse!
at first i thought it was a photoshop mirror effect but looking at it more closely i realized it was just the perfect occasion that you captured.
Everything is good: the colors, the symetrie and the frame. Very well spotted.

Amazing colors! did you use a diffuse filter? i love the tones of orange going to the blue and the composition with the elements in the photo.

this is a very beautiful piece of work. perfect control of light and composition. i like your background. personnaly, i think it would like much nicer without the frame. the font disturbs the harmony of the picture a bit IMHO.

perfect composition and colors. it really looks like a postcard :)

excellent moment captured :) the title of the picture could also be "just chillin´" :) good composition and nice "irony" ;-)
could have been a bit sharper maybe, but that´s not critical.
Thanks for sharing!
