Very effective - an image that leaves the viewer questioning, wanting to know more. Is she practicing a dance or a play? The lighting is also very effective in highlighting the mood. Was this natural light? Posted: 10/18/2026 13:43:08
I wonder what the subject is doing - would the addition of the other hand help? Anyway, it is a well executed portrait and the strong light works fine particularly against the dark background. Posted: 10/20/2026 16:05:52
Well composed. The pose, expression and lighting add to the question of what is this about. The subtle background works well. Well done. Posted: 10/22/2026 15:34:11
Good lighting. There is a sense of motion or anticipation that something is about to happen.The dark background add to the drama. Very sharp image. Posted: 10/23/2026 17:26:12
I love the dramatic light, and admire how you maintained highlight and shadow details. The latter is particularly important here, since her expressive face is largely in shadow. The gesture is strong, and sets the story in my mind of waving goodbye to a friend. The shadow of a lock of hair on her cheekbone is really lovely. Nice job! Posted: 10/25/2026 01:56:03
