Comment by raish:
Would I be right in thinking that either the stone structure is fairly new, in imitation of an older style, or that the photograph has been sharpened so much that texture has been sacrificed? Bit of over-saturated colour in the backlit woods, too. More stone and less trees might have improved the composition.

Very nice composition although it seems a bit fuzzy.

Comment by pjangel:
This seems oversharpened to me. There is something that doesn't appear natural.

Bery nice. I like the sun coming up (going down?), adds a warm feel and some interest.

Comment by posthumous:
Bergman's most accessible film, though we never do find out how the piano plays by itself. This really feels like a foreign film from the 70s. Great expressive posture from your model and I like the subtle but dramatic shadows. Good composition, too. Notice how pointedly she is looking at empty space. A great way to convey loneliness, despair, etc.

Looks oversharpened maybe?
