Superb professional portrait. Very pleasant smoothness too. Voted.

A wonderful portrait! I noticed her beautiful eyes first, like Kees said so well. You have a gift to render the eyes of your model believably sharp and crisp. I love the pose with her hands on the violin, it is soft and peaceful.

I agree with Kees! I will add that there is a soulful quality in the way she carresses the instrument! Well done!

Some people see the violin first. I see the eyes. With two of such incredibly strong focal points you have done extremely well to retain the main focus on the face. That really is the trademark of a great portrait photographer and I no longer believe that this may just have been a fluke or a coincidence. You have repeated the same skill and style over and over again. For future portraits, try to get yoru subjects to tilt their heads ever so slightly. It may not look like much when you take the picture but it will make a big difference in the final shot.

How she hugs her violin.... :)))
Beautiful natural light.
The wisps of flying hair are a nice touch.

Wonderful portrait, Galina. Great treatment.
You had a beautiful model, and you caught her so well.
It's a tender image.

Excellent portrait. Very clasic look with the black and white. It is a good choice to use b&w, it bring out the childs facial features.

Perfect as usual for your portraits
