Description

This one was taken in the graveyard in Aabenraa here in Denmark. Added the tone and sharpened it slightly in photoshop 7.0.
I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. C&C are welcome :)

Another shot from this series: Solitude by  Obscured
The model is my good friend Katrine:

Beautiful black and white!.....great mood!
I would use less space at the right and a little more at the left....but just me.

Nice portrait - the hard rock in the background works well.
Good lighting and excellent details in the shadows.
I'd like to see the text in the border a little less prominent (smaller and/or grey perhaps).The toning works very well.

Carlos read my mind on the space issue. Otherwise excellent job.

Great mood!
Good choice of bw and tones are very good too!

I'd wish for a little more room/space around her on the sides though.

Keep sharing (thumbup)

i like the texture of the skirt a lot, everything is pretty well composed, the hair almost seems too in the face though, just an opinion though, not relavent to the ablity of the piece to express...shy model or planned?

PeterGrave5: hehe, well i don't know if it was planned, she just took this pose and i thought it's perfect. sorrow and loss are both characterized by making people introvert. so there's definitely a point in her face being hidden...besides i like the fact that this way it's her whole body that expresses grief and sorrow, and the focus isn't as much on the face. :)
thank you for the c&c and the votes!

This is already a beautiful portrait I have nothing to complain. The lightings are great and so the composition. This is just great. Very emotive.

Concept:

Very strong

Technical Skill:

Average

Impact/impression:

Very strong
Pros:
Pathos of picture is evident.
Colors shift to green render well the overall mood
Cons:
Too much symmetry in the composition
No relevant focus
Some white spot can be removen
Overall opinion/feedback:
I have a strong mood from this picture.
Personally I can suggest to crop the picture in different mood, enhancing roses+hands giving more contrast to them.
Probably you should remove the rocks (beautiful details anyway) on the left side giving more space in front of model (to the right) cause it is there that the action is playing.
