Powerful, Marco! As well the look of your model as the way that look is "embedded" in the patterns of light and shadow. These patterns produce the effect of a crop inside of the image, making your model's facial expression really pop out. The result is a suggestive tension.
A very good photo, Marco, or should I say "a killer"? ;o)
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Hello Marco
You got perfectly the soul (and the look) of tango: the red notes (lipps and earrings) almost hidden in the dark adds the perfect atmosphere... I can hear Piazzola playing behind the steps sound of the lady in a floor of wood in an empty saloon. Great mood and a great photo.
Best regards, mb

Boa tarde dear Marco

This photograph is an excellent stage. It has drama and seduction. Very thought well and executed. The light, the intensity of the black and the pose… the red track...all speak the same langage: the search of perfection.
The music is great...and the movie is a little light than the photo suggestion.
You are great my friend...I have a big smile in the face.
You have danced very well this tango...and not alone.
As usual we say: It must be two to dance a tango!

Um grande abraço
Teresa

Hi Marco,
Passion is matter of contrast instead of nuance! Tango is a subtil mix of both. Your photo is a good example of this ! Especially in the glance of your model!
Superb rendering of this mood! Your music is sublime!
bravo! Annie

Coucou Marco,
c'est incroyable la force que tu réussis à transmettre avec ce regard, le jeu d'ombres et lumière est vraiment saisissant.
Juste dommage que ce blanc vienne troubler tout ce bon équilibre.
Bonne soirée

hi Marco,
her expression looks smiling superficially, but obviously includes something wicked in it...like this diagonal light and shadow.
in my feeling, a little angle (lower or left-side) may make this portrait more impressive...
anyway the poison is attractive, like fascination looks insanity,
her eyes tell me that.
thank you,
Akihisa

• [2009-03-07 1:58]

ci sono modi diversissimi di vivere sia la danza che la passione, e a volte si ha la fortuna di vivere delle passioni che nel loro ritmo e colore e intensita' sono esse stesse danza
in queste passioni tutto parla - e come nella danza gli occhi e il linguaggio del corpo sono indissolubilmente legati l'uno all'altro. tu hai scelto di far parlare gli occhi, e il fascio di luce obliquo rappresenta per me il movimento dei corpi avvolti in questo tango assassino - quindi niente WS da parte mia =)

Ciao Marco, la fascia di luce diagonale trasmette il senso di attesa perchè qualcosa si sveli, perchè venga alla luce o ritorni nel buio, quel gioco così travolgente che accomuna il ballo e la passione. Enfatizza anche lo sguardo e la bocca, la seduzione è splendidamente raccontata.

this is great portrait. Shadows make this beautiful women mysterious, dangerous and tender at the same time. And that eyes...what a look! You are right...like dancing eye to eye with the sweetest angel or dangerous assassin. You never know.

Terrific use of light and shadow, especially the way just the lower part of her irises are illuminated. The diagonal elements of the shot work beautifully.

• CAROL50 (4729)
• [2009-03-10 19:42]

Hi Marco,
She is gorgeous looking , just like the light inundating her pretty face , she is a bit too central in the frame though and i am not sure either about the large band of white down by her left shoulder. Her right eye being partly in the shade in fact adds a little 'unknown 'in that it seems as if she has some secret thought to keep from us , he he ,,,anyhow she has good eye contact with the lens and she acts very natural , good effort from both of you ,
Take care Marco,
Carol

I like the strong light in this portrait, Marco. Like Vlad, I think the white diagonal behind her is too distracting. I'd have loved to see a bit more light on her right eye (left in the shot) but that's a minor detail; the diagonal stroke of light makes it a very strong and unusual portrait.

hi Marco

What to say about this portrait except excellent work? Very bold way to shoot with light+shadow effect and it works beautifully. The eye stare is powerful. Perhaps I would ask about your inclusion of the stripe of white in the BG.

Great work.

Bellissimo ritratto intenso e tagliente, una lama lucente, ma non privo di una dolcezza che è tanto più preziosa proprio per il contrasto con la luce netta.

Ho ammirato anche le altre foto pesaresi, ma vicende familiari da seguire con continuità mi tengono per il momento lontana dall'obiettivo e, ahimè, anche dal tempo da dedicare ai commenti agli amici!
