Thanks to all for their comments, very much appeciated. I've been out of the country for the last two weeks and really didn't know how this one would do. I really liked the simplicity and honesty of it - and of course the subject ;-)
This has such a natural and comfortable look & feel to it.
Just a moment, a natural moment that is one of daily enjoyment and as seen on any given day.
The real value of this is the lack of fancy setups and was done in familiar surroundings.
Very nicely done and this is exactly the type of portrait photograph that I could see on the inside flap of a book.
Bravo!
A score north of 6 is always great but I can't help but feel that this shot is underrated. To me it captures a big part of what photography is all about - documenting someone you love in such an emotive way. Adding to favorites.
one of the best in the challenge...I love how comfortable she is in her surroundings...not too busy for me in the background, but I do have a much more sophisticated eye than posthumous..:)
well done!
This is a wonderful portrait of a very beautiful woman. Her eyes are full of warmth and confidence and her smile looks as though it's about to burst out of her - lovely and a favourite :)
This is just lovely! So sweetly emotive that it made me smile and warmed my heart as soon as I read your title. Beatiful model. Lovely duotones. Nice contrasty look. Square crop and centered composition tells me how important she is to you...front & center in your life! It's a 9 from me. Well done.
