Hello Luciana,
the litlle shining star above her sunglases is so nice :)

she is like the Earth!
her back is dark (as land is dark), and her front is light (as the sky is light)..

i hope you could understand my super english :)

regards,
Cihan Selçuk Ekşi

What a great compo and perspective, a very good contrast with the sky, very good seen Luciana and wonderful done.

Hi Luciana,
it's a wonderful shot - I wished this could be me, laying in the sun under the blue blue sky and reading an interesting book.
The highlight is the little star on the sunglasses ;-) Thanks and many greetings

Bonsoir Luci,
Très belle silhouette qui se découpe sur un très beau ciel, bleu à souhait, avec juste ce qu'il faut de nuages. Belle illustration des plaisirs de l'été : lire en plein air, dans la lumière éclatante. Bravo pour la petite étoile dans les lunettes.

Its that sparkle of lihgh in her glasses that plays as olive in a glass of martini. Excellent!

Nice silhouetting, Luciana. I like the little 'star' that was caught on the model's forehead, gave it a nice touch. A girl just enjoying the day reading. Nice cloud arrangement and color backdrop.

Hello Luciana.
Very nice picture and i did it many hours this year.

A very good composition with this clouds.
regards Frans

Olá Luciana,

Uma foto muito descontraida e muito bem conseguida.
Fica bem,

Hi Luci,

What a great way to spent your vacation!! Great composition with lovely lighting and contrast! She looks like she's flying... But I guess when you're reading a book you DO fly... :))
Very very well done on the composition!

Constantinos

Hi Luciana !
Very beautiful composition !
I love the tiny star made by the sun on the glasses and the lovely curves of this body against this beautifuk sky ...
Light and sun of Portugal :)))
You are right about pleasures of summer.

Salut Luci,
Excellente composition tres relaxante et reposante. L'utilisation de la lumière est excellente et j'aime bien la petite étoile de lumière réfléchi sur les lunettes. Ainsi que se nuage encadré par le V du livre et des jambes. Bravo.
Luc

Hey Luciana,
This is simply adorable. I love the reflection in the sunglasses! Very moody, I like it very much. Well done!

The heavy contrasted photo shows a good silhouette of a reading person in the sun. It brings you in a nice vacation mode

Good composition with the cloud and the human shape. Fine star.

Not good for the eyes reading like that though Luci. Excellent capture. Lovely blue sky and the semi silhouette of the young lady showing out well. TFS,

This is a good shot Luci, as usual you have captured it nicely and artistically. The twinkle in the sunglass adds more impact. The framing is just perfect.

Someone may already have said this, but it looks as though the clouds are coming out of the book, as though she were making them through the act of reading. Very nice composition. -Hugh

Hi!

Agreed! I just love it.
Great, great use of the sky and those fluffy clouds just mark this shot as lovely.
I like the subtle silhouette.
A BOOK! :)

Biance.

This is a very unique self portrait. I love it. An almost silhouette against that warm sky. Well done.

I like this photo a lot. The lighting is very unique and the flash of light on the sunglasses was a nice effect. The sky looks beautiful and the clouds are a good touch. Nothing wrong with this picture as far as I can see.

Mountain and clouds:)
Beautiful and interesting photo!!!
