Hi Luca!
Yes she looks shy ,but nice and I can understand this expression,because I know how big the lens is,hiding your face..
Good portrait and a great background with the view into the kittchen with fire and smoke.
Have a nice weekend,
regards,leo

Luca: warming portrait: pleasing composition. What is your ISO here? Great ambient light you caught on her visage... regards, c

Ciao Luca,
I like her hand on the left as an entry point of the picture,she's got a neutral expression.... not really shy,nice the soft light on her face and foggy atmosphere in background,good job!

che bella! sembra tratta da una scena di un film;
il film più bello.. la Vita!

bravo Luca!

Hi Luca,
This is a beautiful portrait. I like the expression in her face.
The compo with her hand on the foreground and the strong light from the back works very well here to show the back of the house.
Good colors on her clothes and face.
Well done.

Hi Luca!
Beautiful portrait,with amazing backlight.Color tones are excelent.I like look in her eyes,background have just enough visible details.
Bravo!
Regards!

Un superbe portrait, Luca. Beaucoup de pudeur et de dignité dans le regard de cette jeune femme. L'arrière plan qui nous dévoile un peu plus ses conditions de vie est génial.
Amicalement
JJ

ciao luca,
this is superb - you got really close to that woman, and the way you broke into the intimacy of the place is really impressive...love thhis photo...
bw, j.

Che bella Luca, anch'io ci vedo un misto di timidezza e di dignità nello sguardo di questa bella ragazza.
Una foto piena di calore domestico.
Buon we!
Alberto

Hello Luca,
A very touching and decent portrait of the young woman.I like the warm colors of her skin and the bluish background.
The frame is a little bit to massive.
Excellent work.
Regards, Marc.

This is an amazing portrait. You've captured this woman so beautifully, and in her own house as well. The lighting is superb, and I really like the bluish color of the smoky room behind her. Nice work.
Regards,
Ryan

Hello Luca. She is beautiful and your photo renders all the beauty she carries within her. The contrast between the warm tones of her skin and the blue background is simply magical.

A poignant image, Luca, a really touching image. I respect you for taking this photo and posting it here. Wonderful treatment of low-light.
Regards,
Animesh

Hi Luca

Great pertrait. What light. Good focus on her eyes, they are entrancing. I love that wide angle 12-24. Nice work.
Ben

Ciao Luca! Gorgeous shot, as beautiful as the subject herself, this lovely young woman with her scarf around her neck, probably carrying her little child around her waist. Lovely light, not an easy thing to achieve under the conditions, but you have made the shot so superb, so mystical with it... a gorgeous one, sorry I havent' had time to comment earlier!
ciao
sasa

Caro Luca, wow....che intensa l' espressione di questa ragazza, che occhi...
La tua composizione qui è come sempre di classe A++++, per non parlare di come hai calibrato l'esposimetro per le non facili luci...
Meravigliosa imamgine Luca e bellissimo il particolare della sua mano nella porta...
Sei un maestro..
ciao!
valeria

Nagane Luca,
bei ricordi .. e naturalmente bellissima foto che, a mio parere, riassume bene la situazione e lo stato d'animo di questa giovane mamma in queste zone così povere: una certa dignità, una certa bellezza ed un po' di malinconia.
Ciao,
Aldo
