A beautiful classic portrait! That this is a self portrait makes this all the more expertly captured! Good luck in the challenge--I'm voting high for your image.

Lovely. This one has a real sense of serenity about it, probably helped by the soft pastel colours, and the fact that it's not a studio shot only adds to the appeal. Beautiful work.

i don't know anything about portraiture, so i'm using your image to try to figure out what i think i would or wouldn't do in this situation, as well as what i notice and get out of your image.

what an excellent capture. you look so at home with this, it's hard to believe that it is a self-portrait. i wish i could feel as comfortable in front of a lens as how you come across. the lighting is perfect. such a lovely range of tones and details. i really hope this does well for you! thanks for sharing!

There are so few photos in this competition that have used color or natural lighting. This one uses both and the result is stunning. The yellow silk gown, natural wood, skin, hair, and eyes complement each other perfectly.

What a wonderful photo! Beautiful eyes, I like the way that the light reflects from them, very expressive. Great job.

A good gentle portrait. The window light blowout is a bit distracting, but the colours are warm and true

Bonsoir Mambe. C´est une bonne photo, mais je crois que el fondo seria mejor si fuera uniforme.
