Perfect shot

I agree with Fred, it looks like a sculpture. I like how it contrasts to the blue sky and your POV is very nice too. TFS.
A note would have been very nice..??

Magic!
Excellent exposure and contrast ...
touching ...

jose,
very different,he looks like noone I've met before.
all these are just because of some mud on the face;in some areas in my country they use that sort of mud for it makes the body healthier,is that also for such a reason?
good color effects and nice shadows.
regards

This image leaves me wondering what it is all about, sometimes it's good to be challenged with our thoughts and imagination. I don't always need the facts to like an image.
Perhaps a wee bit overexposed, but it looks like you were competing with full sun. Bravo

Hi Jose,
This is a master piece of a portrait with strong contrast in color and lighting.

Very surprised, from thumbnail i thought its a sculpture! Great strong portrait. Strong light gives the details. I like the dark strong sky at back as well. Perfect!

wonderful mix of structure. I wonder if the structure would be enhanced if this was turned in to a black & white though. It is a litle bit over exposed as well. I woudl try and crop the top a bit to remove that area at teh top of her head. I beleive the photo will become stronger then.

Beutiful image the textures are so alive. Well done.

Beutiful image excellent exposure and contrast.Eyal

How haunting. I saw a program about an African Tribe that sends their young men to live in solitude after circumcision. As part of the ritual, they put clay on their bodies like this young man. I wonder if it is a similar culture? Very nice profile. Lots of sharpness and clarity. The blue background is awesome.

This is a very good catch, cong. happy new year.

Peace

Great and very impressive picture.
The model looks like a statue.
