Description Emprisioned by circumstance,
Tortured by desire,
She waits with impatience for the end,
for the beginning.
Where are you? she silently screams.
It does not matter, for you are here...
In her soul, her eyes, and her tomorrow.


I am not really into the self-portraiture thing, but i am sick and am to antsy to concentrate on much, but mawkish emotions. Cleansing the soul through art is liberating. So here I am, unvieled.

Perfect choice of words...And a beautiful portrait!
To express through art and photography...I feel is a human right that no person should interfere with. It is a true freedom.
Well done.

Vivid colors and superb contrast between the blue and red.

IMHO the traingle of shadow falling over the right eye looks a little off place.

Magnificent portrait, Lorraine.
I like the way the scarf framed your face. The colors look so surreal and so pastel. And your eyes look almost plastic. It's a babyface/dollface look.
Great composition

I dont know why, but i think it's give an old look to that photo! Maybe your look, the angle...

Anyway, this shot is artistic!

Soft, tendernes, sensuality... fantastic picture.

Somebody told me once: "if you see someone with opaque eyes you will be seeing a special person, but you see someone with shiny eyes you will be seeing an angel...".

Wow, that is some flawless skin. I love the blush on the cheeks, it really makes you look healthy and vigorous and full-of-life and definitely like you could be blushing or longing for something.

Seems like the scarf over your head should, textbook-ly, be white.. so the blue really makes a statement. Really pops.

Great!

Twinks08 [2004-02-09 03:40:44 +0000 UTC]

the colors are in such a way that it reminds me of illustrations from the 50's and 60's...

and i have to say that the pose also reminds me of the famous National Geographic photo of a girl with really intense eyes, i forgot the name...

but overall i like it how you got the three primary colors of light, i dont know if that was intentional or not....

her complexion is great, the eyes are the main attraction. Atleast to me. Her lips give her a sign of innocence, great job.

ranathari [2004-02-08 18:04:01 +0000 UTC]

This is very nice indeed - it looks almost like a painting, due to this slight level of surreality in the smoothness of your skin. I do think that it could benefit a little from a plain white background but that's just me Very well done indeed!
