I love this! The contrasts and the angle are good.

One of my favorites of yours. The crop and composition are freaking great! Love the muted tones and softness of an otherwise very hard-edged subject (the building).

This is gorgeous. It reminds me of a book I've read (about 3 times now ) called "Northern Lights" by Philip Pullman.

This is so wonderfully impromptu...and she seems so thoughtful and pensive. I especially like how she's in the foreground, and the building is out of focus in the back. for sure!

this is mystifyingly wonderful.
they say the face is usually for emotions, but i get sooooo many from this even without it.

i like how it's cut. i love it when people cut off heads and body parts. everyone used to yell at me for that. i cant help it. i think its nice cutting things out of the picture.

Hehe yeah I really like faceless photos. It lets us use our minds more in trying to figure out what the person looks like and is feeling in their face.

I like the nostalgic feel.
And with the out-of-focus background taking over the shot and the girl's face missing, it;s a very fill-in-the-blank picture. I really like it.

Very nice shot, love the tones, the church-like building behind the girl and the girl, of course.

your gallery is very touchingly retrospective. this piece is a prime example. the colors and crop go well towards creating a very sensitive piece. it might be an oldie, but it's a goodie

I like the idea but i think the building is way to dominating and I read the comment and i've never heard/seen a guy use the word 'creamy' yay for that... I think this kind of cropping is fascinating because it leaves the viewer in wonder.. we think of facial expressions ect for all i know she could have been making funny/ugly faces i love when a photo is mysteripus. Oh and I have now put a polaroid camera on my wishlist so lets see how it goes..

I like the building in the background, it contrasts well with her pale dress. And the composition is maybe perfect
I wish her figure was clearer though. But it's still a very nice photo. I don't want to say this- because I hate criticising people's art, but as soon as you look at this you think 'the colours have been manipulated' I don't know if it's a bad thing though. Don't get me wrong because it's a gorgeous, gorgeous image

Thanks for the critic
To be honest I didn't manipulate it 'that much' hehe. The original had the same muted colours even though it was cross-processed which you'd expect vibrant contrasted colours but I find If I shoot into the sun I get the opposite, which the above was. The only thing I added was a creamy layer, in the original the sky was white and the image was just a lot whiter i guess but now its creamier. Plus I cropped the bottom off.
Thanks once again and I'm glad you liked it
