WOW it's been a while since I posted.
To be honest, it's been a while since I shot. I mean REALLY shot, not made snapshots of my friends at a party.

This is a shot from a photo seminar I have been to this weekend.

and please, try not looking at it, but FEELING it.
that's how it works for me anyways.

You know how a picture would just WORK once you're in the right mood because they just align? well this is the case. :)

I understand what you mean by feeling it instead of just looking at it. Art, and specially photography, is all about expressivenes rather than any other thing, in my opinion.

Its beautiful :heart: When I allow the image to blend into an emotional experience, I'm left captivated by what you have captured.

Brilliant piece.

Describing my feelings, this is gonna be fun. I really hope you like rollercoaster rides.

At first, I thought this was a relaxing/sleepy through the composition. Very laid back. However the position of the head, looking upwards, could show deep thinking or boredom.

There is also a sense of mystery. I cannot see the expression on the face that well especially in that angle. Were the eyes closed or open, etc

Plus the arm was off the pic, so is she holding something or reaching out for something? Again, the mystery is there.

The brown tint doesn't show certain warmth. I think its too dark but there is a somewhat lukewarm feel to it.

I do hope this is what you are looking for. It is a very well done photo.

Great work :)

i like it, it is communicating a moment of intimacy, i perceive it as a positive one. the dress and the location communicate a sort of decacent elegance.
i like the dark tones contrasting well with the light ones of the skin, and i particularly like the composition that uses very well the square format and the diagonal lines
:)
