Hello Swiatek. Very impressive, interesting point of view and very good exposure of the woman. She has a very intriguing look on her face, she seems to be examining you. The light area around her head works fine to emphasize the expression on her face and the dogs are a nice detail.

Hi Swiatek, A truly brilliant shot! I love the penetrating look of this young woman that really grabs the viewer, your pov is marvelous and the image is masterly composed. Excellent pp and the overexposure of the background does work as a surplus here. Bravo, Sabine

Hi Swiatek.
Again and splendid shot. The light, the composition and the way as she looks to the camara.
Really a good photo.

Thanks for share.

hej Swiatek. Strong image, intense eyes. I like the washed out background and that tired dog.

Superb journalism and art combined. Her look, the softly modeled eyes and face, her classically feminine posture, the sleep dogs in a languid atmosphere, are wonderful. I wish, just wish, that she was a bit off center to the right of the frame (the rocks of the cooking oven distract a little)...but you get what you get. Amazing photo.

Fantastic treatment and composition, Swiatek. Love the blowout around her head, the whole shot sings! Formidable!

Mezmerizing image, due, I guess, to the combination of the light and shadow in sepia tones, the strange expression of the woman, the angle on her body pose, fragile but exuding dignity, the contrast of the naked and sweating body enhanced by so much heavy jewelry ... and the unexpected presence of the dogs. Very good shot. --amz

Hello Swiatek,

This is for me a very unusual angle and a very unusual light. TE gives us the possibility to see and learn at all ages, I am not sure that I would have chosen this angle and shoot against the light in this poisitrion. But it works so well. Excellent ,Swiatek ! I also enjoy the Sepia Monochrome _zzet
