i was at a wedding not long ago and I saw this lady looking out of a window thinking. I wonder what was on her mind?

Hi Chris,
I love the mood in this photo, the b&w is good... I made a ws to focuse on the "model" by cropping the photo. Hope you don't mind

It is a little curve. But it my mind it is perfect. Smoke in the air, Her looking out of windows (Thinking to future?), Her style in sitting on chair and a perfect select of BW. Wonderfull. I like this shut very much, Because it is a wonderful style of sitting and thinking in my mind. I like it very much.
Also I added a workshop, Hope it improve your shot.

Unginged world in her mind, looking back to the old days maybe....
Nice xomposition, Chris, I do like this small tilt in it, adds some certain mood to the shot. Thoughts fading away like the smoke blown out. Well seen scenery with great backlight. And so much space left.... Wonderful moody work, b&w for an eternal capture.

Hello Chris,

This is a great B&W shot. The lighting is wonderful how it plays on her face, hair and in the smoke. The tilt is also very effective for the mood. Very well done. TFS

Hi Cris,

Great shot! Probably she thought tomorrow I stop smoking.

The picture inspred me to make a workshop for you. Please have a look.

Thanks,
Hendrik

An interesting photo - very attractive and puzzling - I can't pin point the attraction, but it is there. Technically a relative regular shot, but has charisma (if that description can be applied to a photo). So, I did a workshop to spend time trying to figure out why. I think the composition is a critical component, the tilt is a possible factor, definetly your angle (POV) is a major contributor to make this a striking photo. Light and exposure are also critical and well done. Intentionally or unintentionally, it is a striking shot.

I like this photo very much. If you look at this you start thinking. Everyone can make his one story. Great work.

Interesting shot Chris, well seen. I like the desaturation effect.

Hallo Chris,
heel mooie foto, ik hou van het zwart-wit.
Ja wat zou die vrouw denken, was ook mijn eerste vraag?
De foto spreek mij aan omdat ik ook heel graag voor het venster naar buiten staar.
