The closer vantage point increases the viewer's involvement exponentially.The color and movement are very exciting.There is just enough detail (the lips,hand) to anchor the image.The scarf is aflame coupled with the potent symbolism of the lips,creating a powerful image.The emotional flow of the elements outweighs the value of sharp focus.Interpretation outweighs documentation most effeectively in the case.Please continue to develop your daring portraiture Sue.

My favourite in this fantastic new gallery. Wonderful warm colour combination, and I love the background. It seems to be part of a beautiful smile. voted
