Jeffster from Long Island, United States
It's a very pretty portrait, but I'm curious about the catchlights in her eyes.
8 Jan 2009 7:59pm
@Jeffster: Thank you very much Jeffster. I suppose that the catchlights are reflecting the light and trees near the shrine as she was facing outside.
Lunamania from Oakland, United States
I agree nice portrait and I like how you've positioned her in the lower portion of the frame--makes room for the bell/rope which provides interesting environmental context. Nice work

Sandrine from Cincinnati, United States
Beautiful portrait1 i would love to see it in color too!
9 Jan 2009 10:41pm
@Sandrine: Merci Sandrine. J'ai garde la photo couleur qui est aussi tres belle mais je trouvais que les couleurs eclatantes dans ses cheveux etaient ce qui attirait le plus et j'ai donc choisi la version NB qui met plus en valeur son visage.

Salut Olivier,

une impression de pureté créé par ce visage si lisse.
Une très belle image du Japon traditionnel tel que l'on se le représente.
