Great composition. It is likewise moody. The facial expression of the model jibes well with the moody background. TFS.

Hola Luciana...a very strong & expressive portrait. Love the lighting and that you broke the "rule" the space is in the left and not in front of your face...Very Good !

Allo Luciana...
Expérience fort réussie...
La compo, l'éclairage ...et en bonus la mêche pour briser un photo qui aurait été trop sérieuse....(ca donne un petit air "déliquant".....)...
Un gros bravo...
Merci de nous la partager...

Since i work a lot on portraits, i can say that this is a job well done. Other than the mood created by warm lighting, its the expression and the pose that's a winner. You cropped this well too. Good one Luciana.

Hello Luciana,
Wow! Parlant de portrait, en voici un extraordinaire! Super réussit au niveau de la composition, de l'éclairage, de la luminosité et des couleurs. Les teintes sont très belles. Toutefois, j'aurais peut être enlevé le petit peu de bruit du BG avec Neat Image mais ceci demeure de toute beauté et je peux te dire que tu es très photogénique. Cette photo m'a donné l'idée de changer le titre de mon portrait d'écureuil ;)Bravo et merci!

Oh la la, pretty lady! :)

Lovely self portrait, and this lighting is definately to your advantage, very soft and subtle. I think the earthy background works considerably well with you, which is strange considering your hair and sweater have colours that are quite close to the same tones. Anyways, the frame and the positioning of the image looks very professional. And I love the expression. :) Well done!

Biance.

Of course all, without a beatifull model this would not be not possible!.

You and the sunlight play well, you are made for each other. I'm curious as to why you left all the dark space on the right. (I'm just thinking the frame cropped nearly in half creates a great portrait image too).

Love the warmth on your face, and your expression is deep, moving, very classical. I'm a huge fan of negative space and you have used that very well here. Absolutely love this timeless portrait of yourself. Very good work!
