[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
ok, the note. this image consists of two arranged in layers. the lower is my friends' daughter Alexandra in a mask shot opposite window. the upper one is just an old wall with cracked paint.

PP: too many spontaneous manipulations with filters (mostly sharpen and grains), levels, desaturation. some intricate work with eraser and burn tool.

as for meaning, just an expression of duality and vulnerability.

HI Lena

I really like this photo
But without notes I am lost!
The note you write adds to the overall image, and what you are expressing, without that we just see a image...whether is be good or bad.
For us to know the meaning behind your art, we need to know how, what and why...plus anything extra like PP, as that is how we all learn from each other here on TL.

Regards
Tracey
Will update to :) if note added

dear Lena,
the expression of masked and tilt woman invades to the deep minds of all viewers,,,and piled cracked wall is very effective to enhance this strange ambience of all in it.
indeed human is the presence of ambivalence, this white and black mask is not surface but is really inner deep mind, and perhaps all elements in those are inclined and shows deep fissures more serious than the cracks on the wall.
thank you,
Akihisa

the concept and the image are so great... i'm fan of your work... and i go to add to my fovorites... TFS...

thanks for sharing

I was just elated with "Sahka" than you show me this... What is most impressive to me is deeper that this photo have...

Another exceptional image Lena - your work with blending different layers is inspiring, something I must try myself sometime. Lovely tones and textures here, and an excellent balance to the whole composition. The grain really adds to the overall effect too.

Best regards, Roberto
