Nice picture, but i wouldn't think of depression had i not seen the title... Composition-wise, i would move the camera slightly to the left. The lady should be the center [not literally in the center] of the composition, and she is not.

Very interesting idea, I like the tones and subject matter. Well rendered...except for the pillar the person is leaning on....for me if something that should be horizontal or vertical isn't....that is all I see.

Apparently not a candid...

Great dark image. I love the minimalist use of color and the dark tones. Also that the woman's face and hand are the brightest things in this image.

In a field of strong contenders, this amazing capture surfaces resoundingly as a forerunner for the ribbon. :-) What strikes me most about this image is the steel and brightness in her eyes, and that's what makes a truly great portrait.

Wonderful details, tonal range, DOF, framing and composition. 10

I love this photo, it portrays what you are trying to convey well. Not sure about the girls pose though, I think if she was looking down or had her eyes closed it would help with the overall sadness.

Whoa. As the picture was loading so I could rate it, saw gray/white hair and thought "yeah, looks like an old lady's hair" but then it got to the skin (you know how it loads from top to bottom) and I say what I thought was..I don't know...silver makeup? Don't ask. Anyway. I just thought that black and white was a cool choice for this photo.

Well, it's a start. ;-) Seriously, though - very nicely done in all respects.
