Hi Maciej,
well, Kitty is indeed outrageous or is
it just her hair? (I think both!).
Another outrageous character out of your
hot lens and cold Cardiff. Or does it get
warm at all up there these days?
;-D
Cheers,
Robi

Maciej,
Hi nice to see some more of your work from Cardiff. Good looking portrait although its a shame we can't see his/her eyes through all that make up. Perfect exposure in what must have been pretty poor light.

Cheers
Peter

hello Maciej,

Everybody looks but only 2 people make comments ... strange ! I think it's a strong portrait and i take of my hat because it is not easy to make portraits so close from people !!! Fantastic work Maciej !!
greetings, inn

Ok that's a portrait of a drag queen, I'd be tempted to say "so what?".. in fact, all of your portrait relies in the way she looks, not on your own composition, not even on what she's doing... it lacks either something happening, a second feature in the composition or good lighting to be an exciting image.

Maybe you could have used the background, but as it is partly blurred, it's just a plain portrait that bows to the rules of thirds and that's it... not exactly the most imaginative I've seen from you Maciek (Pls note I'm not asking for the whole megilla and photo funambulism each time but for this one, It's like you've clicked automatically on the shutter without thinking beforehand).

The outrageous Kitty I assume Maciej. Can't believe you only have 7 for this. It's ace. The oof is just right and leaves enough detail to communicate with the real Kitty. Good one.
