Svetlana, AWESOME work! Fantastic shot! Always remember with change comes pain in many cases but in the end...it generally also brings growth and strength...that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger!! Good luck my freind...
The subject was being real but the photographer was performing. A stunning combination.
I often think about the balance between art and "real" emotion. This is an excellent example of both. Looking at artless emotion is often too much for a viewer to take. But when there's some art to it, like the composition here, and the lighting, the viewer has room to enter the emotion with you.
Usually, the subject of a photograph is not so directly emotional. From such photographs I want a more chaotic composition. I want to be thrown off by the art. But here, I want just what you've given me, curtains opening slowly onto the chaos within.
Love the power of the emotion. Hopefully it was just for the camera and nothing truly tragic in life. As always you have a way with lighting and composition.
