The copper toning in this is so rich, so glorious - sumptous in its elegance! Marvelously envisioned and executed.

Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: What a marvellous portrait. The light, the opulence of the surroundings, the dress, the pose, the aloof dog - all contribute to a really effective image. Everything goes together so wonderfully. I particularly like the blown curtain - it adds dynamism to a quite still image.

Critical stuff: I think eye contact may have worked really well to anchor the viewers eye.

Overall: I am a fan of good portraits and this is right up there.
