I like the idea. I like the b/w though some harsh spot exist in her face. Maybe you can play more to put something on the hand and gives a motion blur so its like blowing something. Because for now its not so visible :)

Hello dear friend,

the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this image was: Indian women are really beautiful. No wonder they always stand out on the beauty competitions.

You look amazing, dear Shubhi and this is excellent self portrait. You experiment with the cloning gave great results.

Have a 'dreamy' day,

Hi Shubhi

Well to start, you are beautiful and make a great subject for your self-portraits!

Very difficult to capture a good self-image, the camera doesn't know it has to focus on the eyes and tends to lock on to other features, which is frustrating, but in this case would be helped by a smaller aperture for a deeper field of focus.

I like the composition of this shot, placement of eye, hand, and lips especially are powerful, and the background PP is nicely delivered and appropriate to the mood of this.

Nice work, congratulations.

Hello Shubhi,
"Blowin Love Into the Wind..." You are a beautiful woman, and in this self portrait you have shown the soft side of your thought and mind combined as you await your husband's return. I especially like the softness you have exhibited in this scene, it follows perfectly the message you are extending to the audience. A Hopeless romantic I'd have to say, and an intelligent woman who knows how to imagine the curtain's rise to the final chapters of her dreams.
Excellent work,
Steve

Hello Shubhi,
Creative self-portrait with really impressive effect added to the original photo. Nice black and white tones, the composition looks a bit mysterious to me. :) Moody image, well done! TFS!

HI Shubhi
You have done a good job of taking a self portrait which is definitely not easy. I like the extended hand as if you are holding clouds in it.
Why not try and talk your husband into posing for you

Hi Shubhi

A moody b&w portrait, with a nice profiled view of the contemplative woman & her hand. Excellent tonal range & use of a shallow dof. Tfs!

No it's not a dream, It's a reality!
You are what, your thoughts are!
A great self portrait though I prefer clean background so your eyes are fixed on the personality. Difficult when you are shooting outside candit photos?
Best regards
