[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the
Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes
Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!
Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

Hi Manuj,

The down turned lip and the searing eyes makes me think this lady was not pleased being photographed. The quality of your portraits always amaze me this is a great shot showing emotion. The details are very sharp good shades and tones very good narrow dof and the pov is very good well done.

dear Manuj mehta,
a very expressive portrait shot of the lady at moment.
her face, especially her eyes and mouth, look so severe,
and her emotional appealing is so strong,
that this image makes me feel rather deep passion of her.
thank you for your clear capturing of stimulating posture,
Akihisa

Hi Manuj,
Another excellent portrait, she looks oblivious to the fact that you're taking her photo. Good choice with the B&W, really balances the lighting and seems to enhance the details. Nice work.

TFS,
Scott.
