Hello Leszek,
I like this photo for a couple of reasons:
- the black & white, which fits for this kind of portrait;
- the fact that, thanks to the strong contrasts, some parts of Agnes' body give the impression to be one-dimensional (her right shoulder and her hand in the shadow). So, she looks a bit like a statue, and the effect of that is very interesting...
However, in my opinion, Agnes is a bit lost in the complex composition (surroundings with many elements that do not really add something - on the contrary, they are a little detracting).
So, what would I suggest? Perhaps, a blurred background could have helped (less focal lenght). Or a tighter crop, focussing more on Agnes.
Of course, this is my personal opinion. Hope you don't mind... Anyway, nice work and I can understand this photo gives you good souvenirs...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Piekna fotka!
Bardzo mi sie podoba zaimplementowany kolor czarno/bialy.
I rzeczywiscie bez tych anten satelitarnych fotka by byla jak z lat 70tych.

Duzo kontrastu i to mi sie podoba.

Pozdrowienia dla zony ;-)

piekne zdjecie dear Agnes.. silny kontrast i BW to dobre polaczenie, a przy tym dodaje takiego 'Mediteranean touch' (choc to Norwegia), bo sugeruje intensywnie sloneczna pogode.. dla mnie sa tez 3 slabsze punkty: spora GO, ktora oddala nas od typowego portretu (tlo odwraca uwage od Twojej modelki), zbyt wykwintna ramka, no i moje stare oczy wykryly miimalny tilt w prawo, co mi ciut przeszkadza (dopasowywalbym pion do tej kolumny tuz za Agnes);
uff, tyle, a w sumie bardzo mi sie podoba
pozdrawiam - Tomek
