Hi Teresa,
Once again you present a powerful portrait! You know exploit any variations of light so cleverly!
The references at Velasquez or Renaissance style is so right! You created a timeless mood emphasized by the strong contrasts, the almost clair-obscur effect and the pose of this beautiful woman who knows how to keep up her mystery showing only her profil under her large hat.
The red coat on her arm and the good green background make simply an effective counterpoint at this magnificent lady! My congratulations, dear friend!
Um abraco! Annie

Timeless and classy kind of image. Beautifully strong saturation and deep contrast. The post treatment really gives this a painting-like quality.

Ah, a photographic Rembrandt:) I like the strength of the colors and contrasts in this portrait, plus the mystery of the woman whose face we do not see. Her pose makes us wonder what she is looking for or looking at. Engaging, appealing, excellent!

Hello Teresat,
Another painting like presentation from you which guarantees the quality and a good story.
The washed out black color of her hat, long hair and cloth with her red coat plus the green and yellow background are so effective for this picture.
Excelente.
Um abraço

Hello Teresa,
A wonderful work of art. The fusion of renaissance and modern times is indeed evoked. Masterly in composition. To me it looks inspired by the great Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez. The texture and colors are incredible. Bravo my dear Teresa.

Hello, Teresa -
As always, your portraits communicate so much about your subjects, even where their faces are not seen. One can tell from her posture, the set of her mouth and the way she is holding her hands that she is waiting for someone. The colorful jacket looks great held against her black dress. Great background. Very good choice to leave this one in color. Well done, my friend!

• mesquens1 (17345)
• [2009-10-26 3:34]

Belíssima imagem, Teresa,
Realmente lembra um óleo de época, mas após a leitura do seu texto ganha uma dimensão metafórica. Além disso a ambiguidade torna tudo encantador (no sentido francês de Charme): ela esperava por mim para continuarmos a caminhada ou ela esperava por mim para que eu a fotografasse...
Que luz!
Abraço cordial,
Raimndo

Que foto bonita esta. A forte saturação de cores imposta pela luz deu um tom especial na foto. Realmente nos faz lembrar quadros de Velasquez e outros pintores da época.

Muito bonito trabalho. Parabéns.

Olá Teresa!
Está muito bela esta fotografia!
Os tons e a "velatura" da composição invocam a Renascença mas por outro lado a contemporaneidade do modelo recoloca-nos nos tempos de hoje. Destaco sem menosprezo da técnica, a elegância da modelo e a ambiência serena da composição!
Obrigado!

Hi Teresat,

What an intense picture. Really like how you've work with the space, using that bright red gardement. It's quite well composed and executed. Right exposure, nicelly high saturated colors, just as I like it. The off scheme skin color, is quite interesting, and set a special mood. ( hard to describe the feeling of it...))) so I won't. Well done.
