[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Melancholia (from Greek μελαγχολία - melancholia "sadness, lit. black bile"), also lugubriousness, from the Latin lugere, to mourn; moroseness, from the Latin morosus, self-willed, fastidious habit; wistfulness, from old English wist: intent, or saturnine, (see Saturn), in contemporary usage, is a mood disorder of non-specific depression, characterized by low levels of enthusiasm and eagerness for activity.

In a modern context, "melancholy" applies only to the mental or emotional symptoms of depression or despondency; historically, "melancholia" could be physical as well as mental, and melancholic conditions were classified as such by their common cause rather than by their properties

The picture without golden frame would probably have put still the nicer effect.

..., but nice motive good illumination

Greeting from South Germany

Hello Roberto,

The golden frame is taking the attention away. And it is too bright for the title. The photograph itself is fantastic. Absolutely no problem there.

Regards,
Siddhartha

There is potential in this shot - the lighting is very challenging, evocative, and unusual. The gold frame is great.
However the shot is not sharp on her eyes, instead focus is on the fan - and that frame is so heavy, ornate, and grand that it distracts very much from the photo itself. :(
Just my honest thoughts!
