| Beautiful shot! I'd be curious to see what it looked like with her not in an exact profile. Also, if she's holding her hand out in front like that, it might make more sense if she was looking at her hand. Otherwise it looks a little forced. this is nitpicking--it's beautiful. - 8 |

| Truly a lovely photograph of this beautiful girl. The B&W tonal ranges are absolutely superb! The lighting is also excellent. And there is just *something* about this young girl that captures and holds my attention. It is akin to that certain something that I see in Vermeer's painting of the Girl With The Peal Earring. Perhaps it is that I see she she is holding up the scarf to the light and perhaps daydreaming as she watches the light play on the folds and 'beads' of the scarf. She has this *look* that makes one stop to wonder what she is doing and what is she thinking. My very first favorite from this challenge...and that is saying something for I am VERY picky. Thank you for sharing this lovely portrait. |
