Another very good one, Elif. You have recover your inspiration! Very nice self-portrait and great high key treatment. I really like the pensive mood you have capture in this one with your hand on your head and your head all over your face. Excellent!

Now this is my kind of photography....Love the crop and the half image presentation. And black and white adds to the impact,

Merhaba Elif,
Again, a superb and impressive B&W self portrait. I like it very much!
Thank you for sharing.
Is it by purpose, right face?
I read or heard that left face is more emotional than right though. And your eyes shot...
Best regards.

Hi Elif,
this photo is a good manifestation of your ability of pulling out of what you see, the most important things. After I saw this photo I realised that it's obvious that to present someone you do not have to show his/her whole face. Or the whole body. Or whatever - provided that the object is symmetrical. And we humans are almost symmetrical.
It's so obvious, but I realised it only now, after looking at this photo. I think that being half it has even bigger impact. For we react stronger to assymetrical pictures... Thus I love this shot! tfs

Why not a full self, Elif ? ;o)).
I think this high contrast really suits you, but I feel the frame is too high and too narrow to be really "pleasing" to look at. That, and the arm, make your head look high & narrow. A strange picture - but I'll come back later to look again. Some pictures must "grow on you", I think this might be one of them.

I like the presentation of that half face! It's original and the result is expressive! With the hand in the hair it's create in my eyes a contemplative mood... Lost in the minds...
Great one!
