Critiques


:icondakotanorth:
When you get to use mirrors in a photograph, they lead themselves to so many possibilities. First I like to say that the tones in this black and white are wonderful. I love the subdued shadow and how she fades into those shadows in just the right way. The angle of her face in the mirror in relation to the rest of this composition is alluring. Her body position to the mirror lends itself to the ambiance and mystery of her identity.
Like any of us who wake up to start the same routine, we get re-orientated to the new day at hand. I get that sense as she runs her hand through her hair. Now this part is tricky, the ghost like image in the distance is very interesting since that is a window because of the sunshine coming through it.
Hard to say if that was an effect or an actual reflection of her.
A figurative suggestion of her naked to the world? Or to see one's true self against the world?
But the depth of field is perfect which again lends itself to the mystery of this composition.
Definitely a wonderful illusion you have created here in this photography. This is one of those photograph that one could talk about for some time.
Marvelous photography.

I like this photo...

Nice...I like the line that draws your eye from her waist to her elbow. Maybe a little more contrast.

When small men start casting long shadows, it's a sure sign the sun is setting.

very multifaceted with this two different reflections.. and the preserved anonymity

i really like how you play with the different mirrors in the photograph. makes it very interesting because you try to find the girl's face. the focus is on the mirror - right? i think the last bit of focus to her face is missing.

take what you have gathered from coincidence
