You knew nothing about portraiture and came up with this image and processing?
One of the best portraits I have seen here on DPC, on so many levels. |

| Well it's a nice shot, but one might wonder why she is sitting, cowered in mud, in muddy water only wearing something that would apear to be a silky night...dress...kinda thing. Razersharp shot nevertheless. |

| Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. I remember this shot from whose portfolio I know not:-) This is such a *GREAT* 'candid' style shot that really captures a mood and feel. We really do get the sense we have stumbled across this woman and disturbed her solitude. We feel that we are intruders upon her secret space that she comes to to escape the crazy hectic world outside. I see her as connecting back with nature as seen in the fact she has gotten dirty and had emersed in the water; caring not that she is wet. In the composition, she has heard us and looks to see who has disturbed her, but we have jumped back into the shadows or trees to hide. The tones in this composition is just fabulous and the sepia gives it a feel of an old photograph of a time that has passed into memory. |

| I really like the image but I would have liked to have seen more texture / noise / grain; this looks like the noise reduction has been overdone. I have to say, I think I did exactly the same with my entry to this challenge, so perhaps I'm just sensitive to it. |

| I love this stirring and evocative image. The image conjoures up all sorts of questions (as does the title) and leaves the viewer without the answers, yet not feeling unfulfilled or cheated. Technically superb and a brave (yet perfectly correct) choice to go with the B&W. One of my top 3 so far. 9, I love it. Good luck for the rest of the challenge. |
