Bonjour, Renier,
J'aime beaucoup ce portrait de la chanteuse interpretante il parait une chanson d'amour rejete.
Et voila, certains gens s'amusent et d'autres doivent les distraire d'avantage.
Merci pour le partage.

Hi Renier
Who's that beauty? She reminds me of pictures from the roaring 20's. Even the heart shaped lipstick looks like that period. Nice soft tones and a sweet expression

This is a great B&W portrait of this performer. The image is sharp and clear. Nice composition and good focus on her eyes. Great shot Reneir.

Takes you back in time Renier, probably the 1940's - lovely BW portrait.
I think you could even have applied a grainy texture here or an aged-film effect.

I find the intimacy, yet distance, of this shot to be remarkable.
The BW conversion and the lighting are nothing short of stunning here.
Great image,
