Nice shot. I like the degree of backlighting used and the backdrop. There is a a slightly disbelieving defiance about her mouth and eyes. excellent .v.

Beauty, lovely and a great portrait of her nice face.

Youth, nice name for a nice portrait.Youth is beautiful, by itself, is the best part of our life, a time when all dreams can be true.
Why not the Faust deal can not be done? I´m ready, but Mr.. Devil says no deal...
Your picture ? Nice, very nice, made me dream of my lost - we ever lost something - youth.
Kind regards

My fave from this gallery. I am so honored to have you commenting about some pics in my gallery coz you are an outstanding portraitist as well.

This pic tells a story. Very good composition and the subtle tones are engaging. You're good.
Guest 19-Feb-2006 16:10
a great shot, it is dynamic in that it looks as if she is walking past and is turning her head briefly to look at you -- the motion is suggested so subtly -- and it is wonderful because of this and her "mona-lisa" expression
Guest 14-Feb-2006 11:13
beautiful. Almost an indifferent expression.
Guest 07-Feb-2006 13:30
My dear Galina, you really are a superb portraitist - your portraits tell a great deal more than most - the don't just capture a likeness, they capture a soul...this one is no exception - the truth of her expression, the detail of her face and hair, the beautiful arch to frame her...this is an excellent portrait...

beautifull shot.nice dof and tones .i dont know if the remove of the tree would help more the photo ,since it absorb my eye a little (just an opinion).

You work so well at portraits, Galina!
Great expression, beautiful lighting and wonderful quality!

What a wonderful bittersweet disenchanted half-smile... :)
A lovely expressive freckled face.
The arc adds a Madonna (or Russian icon) touch about this superbly lit portrait, Galina!
