I do like it Fabio - I just wish there was less hair and more of that bokehed-out background on the right.
It just seems a bit unbalanced to me, having her nose crammed into the edge of the frame like that.
Well done for trying something a bit different though.

Cheers,
Ben

Hello Fabio! I like this kind of portrait and that we can see only a little bit of her pretty face but otherwise she stays "hidden" - as your title says. We know her a little and yet you make us curious. Something like that :) Good work, well thought over. Best regards, Barbara.

Ciao Fabio,
Ha l'aspetto di una ragazza della James Bond:D
I capelli è come un nero sipario. Dietro un nero sipario,il suo viso è bello...
Complimenti e buona giornata,
Zeynep

Very interesting portrait, wondering about so much hair. I like the very roght position of the face, this gives an interesting effect.
Best wishes,
Achim

Bell'idea (e anche bella chioma), te la rubo senz'altro per fare uno scatto alla mia metà ... ti dirò le assomiglia anche!!!
Ciao, buona giornata, Ale

Ciao Fabio,
davvero un ottimo lavoro, mi piace l'inusualità dell'inquadratura che mette il viso della ragazza in posizione molto decentrata.
Ne viene fuori una foto particolarmente piacevole.
Un caro saluto
Giorgio

Olá Fabio, as usual, I admire your creativity and imagination in photography. Not sure if it's a great picture but I love the originality of the framing, all this hair filling almost the whole image. It's almost abstract and surreal. I understand Ben's points but that would make a common portrait and this is much more interesting, imo.
ciao,
ric

Wonderfully creative again Fabio. Even though we see so little of her face we know she is beautiful. She is looking very contemplative. You have also captured the texture in her hair, which vindicates your decision to include so much of it. Just a thought, but if people's screens are a bit dark they might not see the texture.

Stand ovation!!!!!!!!

Ueilà!

bel ritratto anche se a versione di thumbnail pensavo fosse una ragazza con il chador presa in Iran o da qualche altra parte del MO!
bei colori sfocati sullo sfondo a destra e ottimo lavoro sul contrasto per creare un "effetto chador"!
ciao

my dear Fabio:)
the sensuality of woman...from Eva to Marylin Monroe to Angelina Jolie:).songs,literature,history(strong Ladies)poetry,movies,painters,sculptures,
photography:)just to said 'woman' and already you can think at beautiful.
probably 'hair' is one of the 'vantaggio' of a woman.in fact the way how the wind move the hair:))
understand Ben's points...but in the same time,think was nice to 'stole' an image from this pretty:)
wonderful day,too!!
Flori:)
ps.like very much your critiques in Italian:)

delkoo (34810) 2008-11-25 4:17

bonjour fabio,
I was drawn into this one by the thumbnail , and wasn't disappointed: it's an unusual, cleverly taken portrait packed with originality.

ciao

Bellissima idea e ben realizzata!!

Hello Fabio,

I always get delighted when something actually very simple turns into something most original. The hair covering more then 3/4 of the picture gives the composition a absolutely amazing and outer space effect. Then the glasses, the expression and the fantastic background blue finish off brilliantly the whole conception. Thanks.

Take care
Nuno

vinicio (22428) 2008-11-25 12:43

Primo: ho una foto con lo stesso titolo, forse era il periodo della tua lunga assenza :)
Secondo a proposito di composizione questa la trovo originale ed esagerata, davvero ha tutta quella testa? Se si l'hai usata benissimo, complimenti, davvero un bel ritratto.
Ciao
Vinicio

Hi Fabio, So you are from Trieste! Very nice town, not so much Italian, I was in Trieste two or three times (in Miramare). Very beautiful photo, nice look of the girl.

Regards

Malgorzata

litiancai (1046) 2008-11-26 1:54

Hi Fabio,
I think this is a fine 'stolen' shot. I actually like the dominance of her hair in the frame, and just a little of her face showing creates intrigue. The lighting in the corner also breaks the monotone of the shot. All in all, a fine effort in my opinion!
Regards
Lee

pablominto (41398) 2008-11-26 11:54

Hello Fabio,

Ahhh, I like this!
It is artistic, it is creative and different...
An attractive portrait wit a special appeal!

Greetings,

Ciao Fabio, ritratto insolito, con tre quarti di composizione occupata dai capelli, originale ed efficace, bravo, ciao Silvio

So Yoko ONo is living in Italy now?
I find the approach quite interesting specially in the way the hair dominates the frame,
Very well done
Regards
Daniel

Hello Fabio,

Experimental image alone the for file of the lady together with her glasses.
Light and sharpness are very well.
Composition and colours are superb, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Ciao Fabio
Unusual but wonderful portrait with a special appeal
I like your ideia and the big area with the hair.
TFS and have a nice day
Aires

Ciao Fabio,
davvero un'immagine "rubata"... ma mi piace come hai saputo "buttarla" sul grafico!!! Una composizione intrigante, il tuo solito colpo d'occhio!!!
Buona settimana,
Chiara

aadilj (17950) 2008-12-08 0:59

Hi fabio, i just thought I'd visit and see your recent works...and you leave me speel bound. This one is so experimental, so bold and so beautiful. I like the way you have composed this

Asiulus (1066) 2008-12-10 13:14

Perfect framing, but I've somewhat mixed feelings about DOF. Blurred background - yes, but how about sharpness on the face, not only on hair?

diomed (4649) 2009-02-13 10:49

Ciao Fabio,
taglio molto inusuale che evidenzia un bellissimo profilo e gioca nel lasciar immaginare più che mostrare.
Bella sia l'idea che la realizzazione.
Buon week end
Antonio
