I opted for this shot as my final FS entry of the year as I feel it captures what I have been doing a lot this year - weddings - however the title also reflects the fact I have managed to keep one of my new years resolutions from 2009 - to learn Spanish, something I have been doing and really enjoying (and stuck with!)..
I could of opted for a more `eyecandy` shot, but you know, I flippin love this image!

love this style of photo. almost a candid as a model or actress preps for a shoot. I think you caught the true essence of this woman's beauty in the photo. really like the softer highlights and strong back-lighting. excellent use of a slightly older looking model and showing the patience and calmness in her eyes. Also really like the pin-up style hair choice. all in all a picture I have seen in my own mind when thinking of how I would shoot a beautiful woman. bravo...10
I do not speak the title language so no idea what it means. However I do enjoy the concept behind this image. Yet, the blown-out whites are a distraction for me. I would have enjoyed something a bit more balanced with lights/darks.
I guess I could babblefish the title, but I'm being lazy. This reminds me of an old time movie star getting her finishing touches on her makeup done before heading out to shoot another scene! Well done and processed! 10
