Beautiful combination of colours on the girl and an almost colourless background.

I think Phil Douglis's anaylsis of thise shot nailed it...it is a good shot and I like the vulnerability in her expression that you caught I bet it isn't always there...

Nice portrait. The essence of 2005.

Great candid! A lot of expression going on here, both verbal and non-verbal. Well captured!

Great portrait gallina. You have captured that sense of teenage rebellion that I am very familiar with.

Nicely done. It seems to be a step away from the subjects you are used to photographing. I like it a lot. Often it is hard once a reputation is built and then steps are taken by the artist to do something different. I like the colours in her hair, the intent she has in listening to the phone, even the spots on her face. What really makes the photo for me is the smoke. It is being defiant to social values and norms. Excellent work. V

Life is to be lived as a rainbow.Take this to heart :) Love the vibrant color and casual look :)

The colors and skin tones and ethereal expression are right out of a Renaissance painting, Galina. Yet the dyed hair, the cell phone, the cigarette, and Big Fun button are "sooooo 2005" -- a wonderfully incongruous array of
impressions in a single image. One of my very favorite Stepanovas.

no matter what, this one just had to be in color... fun is right

You have caught a very nice face expression. Your color portraiture is just as compelling as your b/w one

It HAD to be colour, for obvious reasons... :)))
Seriously big fun!
