I'm not a psychologist but I'm interested in how people have chosen to appear in this challenge ; some like you , like me have preferred to be quite natural even if your lighting adds a touch of mystery.

I know that you are beautiful (and not only on the outside) y la cara es el reflejo del alma ...

Hi Guðrún ! Nice collection ! I like that you've chosen to appear full of colors !
The background with books fits you well , two more things that we have in common : books and Champagne , can't imagine a life without that ! ;-)

I was expecting blue tones ;-) , when I think of you it's always associated with this color.

I love the mise-en-scène , nice composition , roses are beautiful but what about a smile ? It would have brightened your photo.

Good things come to those that wait.

Hi Diane ,

Very interesting photo ! I have to confess that I liked your Form Merging Towards the Afterlife Glow , this time with the same elements you have composed a different scene.

Lighting is good , sepia has been an excellent choice , no out-of-focus or blurry zones : that's great !

The composition is good , I like the way you put the fabric (opened to interpretations as the course of life by example).

I just wonder if it could have worked better with a different position of the left arm : not visible or with the left hand opened and resting on her belly. I tell you that because in the comments left , it seems that some people didn't understand very well.

Congrats for your personal best score !

Hello Goran ,

Thanks for giving all those informations in the Photographer's Comments box !
Your country seems beautiful and it has been a pleasure to visit your web site , it's full of stunning photos.
About the settings of your camera I have noticed that Contrast,Saturation,Sharpness are set high , you maybe could have more power to play with those values during the edition.

Does your photo meet the challenge ? I think it does well but maybe others were thinking about newspapers.

Mediterranean sea has a magical and clear lighting , I like your photo very much , the composition is good , the colors are nice ,maybe the blue tones are a bit over saturated (on the middle of the photo , left hand , less in the right hand).
It has a classic appealling but maybe have not a wow factor.

Please free feel to email me about this critique ,
