well Sabina, this is so moody shot, beautifull,
you look completely away in your mind, not sad or happy, really thinking, dreaming, like when we need to pass the hand in front of the face to wake you up,
so very good captured portret, and the BW is perfect, like going back in the time, like you did to your remembers....
ciao

Hello Sabina,

Superb expression, with a great feeling of calm, of contemplation.
I love the choice of the BW and the compo with a big space.
Une très belle atmosphere dans ce portrait!
Bravo!

good idea and result.
Nice experiment in moody portraits, even I prefer more contrasts sometimes. I made a workshop (doesn't mean it is better...) to show you how I would have work on it.
Thanks

Excelent portretul, expresie, compozitie, geamul ala aburit, ochelarii abandonati pe masa, gulerul adus peste obraz, parul intr-o usoara dezordine. Poza foarte intelectuala si sensibila.
Workshopul imi place si el.

OOPS!

Nice to meet you once again Sabina. In my eyes this is perfect! Color tones, Mood, Dof, Framing, Smell of dust and rain, All is perfect, this is absolute amazing.

WOW, Every time I see it, I will love it more!

Hi Sabina,
it's very impressive, I like her face and the eyes looking only to one point.
Also a good choice of black/white here, very well done, thanks

Can you be sweeter, can you look more natural, can you appear more girly, can it be more creative - than this.

A pose that paints univisibly the sound of rain, captures that contemplative moment of silent observation of raindrops. Cracked clay on window corner, warming end of jacket, loose glasses ... This is one of your bests (so far!)

I have to agree with Alban - this is your best shot so far. You look so natural in watching raindrops on the window, someone who is completely lost in her thoughts and no longer keeps track of time. Beautiful work, Sabina, just beautiful!

This is really good. Why it tells a short story and it is a self portrait in one.
You are already prepared to go out. Then you look trough the window astounded that it is raining or not. You need that extra look. Your expression shows the disappointment. In Dutch we say “mooi”

I made some shots in your “Ne me quitte pas....” style
Thanks for the insperation

Foarte misto mood, Degetzica, poate un pic prea trista. Imi place pozitia ochelarilor si privirea, limpede, nefocusata. Nu stiu cum ai reusit sa obtii lumina intr-o zi ploioasa, dar e tare frumoasa. Sa ai o sapt buna! (si fara ploi) :) Alex

Hi, interesting pose! It looks a little awkward, so maybe it would be better to put the hands under the chin for a slightly more natural pose.

Other than that small, detail, great! I love the lighting, the DOF, and the tones.

Thanks for sharing!

Very interesting self-portrait, Sabina, very moody; probably a reflectin of the fact that it rained all day. I like your composition and your glasses on the counter with your eyes focused on the window with the rain - you look like a kid who wants to go outside to play but can't because it is raining. Well done!

Very interesting portrait. is that you? emotionally filled image. The spectacles are like a signature?
'because' is a word that belongs to the rational, secondary process thinking we employ. thoughts about feelings... feelings about thoughts...

This is a very nice portait. I like the atypical pose and expression. The natural light from the window does a nice job of illuminating and I like the streaks on the window adds to the generally lachrymose feeling of the image. Even the long foreground which under different circumstances might not work really gives the eye a direction to go. Really nice work.

Best,
Dave
