Intriguing....possibly even too revealing? It appears the lens provides the rare opportunity to look into someone else's inner thoughts - the ones usually known by one's own self --- here those inner thoughts are revealed by the clothes which nomally provide a "cover" but are pulled back to lay bare that which is underneath. That moment of self-reflection appears to have caused a feelng of melachonly/sadness as shown in the mood of the face. A mood of one who has reflected back on all the stages of life - as symbolized by the series of columns behind the individual -- a mood of one who has many regrets or is who is dissatisfied on the deeper levels. In that context the "ladies" sign is not just a moment of the here-and-now but signals that which dwells within -- resulting in the melancholy/sadness. Or, it's a great photo that reveals more about me than the subject. Truly an aweson photo -- very, very rare. Thank you. That path is for one's steps alone." ("Ripple," by Robert Hunter)

Wow, the light, the shadow's, the location, pose, and of course the lovely Sharon, it all comes together for a fantastic shot. One of your best Ray IMO.

There is mystery in the shot. A story untold, highlighted by the shadows.

There is "tension" in that shot, great lighting. But somthing is missing., cant quite figure out what. Just an honest critique for I hate giving negatives. Just a thought try this shot in Black and white, with the PS Optikverve virtual photographer plug-in, in moonlite or brownie mode @400asa , The brownie mode takes the tension away immediatly. I hope that this comment will not be taken in poor tatse , that is not the intention. Just an observation.
