Almost looks exactly like your other photograph "Passenger," you look tired though, perhaps a lil bit tighter cropping. You've got a lot of black. Thats just my opinion though. I would like to see slightly more from you, speaking from a slef portrait POV, different pose, lighting and expression. well my 50 cents, have a nice day.

MrBlue  02/23/06 @490

The facial and body expression certainly tell a story and, therefore, should remain unchanged. If possible, get more distance between you and the wall so there's less structure and more blur in it to create a yet better mood (in my opinion).

Passenger  02/23/06 @502

Tnx for your comments! @inabottle: I know this shot is somewhat similar to one of my other works, even though they are not even made in the same session. I wanted to try another composition, other lighting and colors. I made the cropping with a lot of black on purpose, since I think it fits the composition. And yes, I am tired......... @MrBlue: tnx for the tip about moving further away from the wall. That wasn't possible in this case though (I live in a quite small room in a studenthouse )

Jasenka  02/23/06 @521

I like it just the way it is.. good work

Inabottle  02/23/06 @536

Yah i figured the baclness was there for a perpose, but i see it has depression... not silence. Its more of a dpressive photo... well nice one either way.

eowyn  02/23/06 @592

you're hot hot HOT! definately this has more vibe than the previous ones! awesome! ps: it feels good to be able to comment again

mirkomkb  02/23/06 @707

piciART  02/23/06 @758

You are so very pretty!!!!! Nice photo, nice job!!!!!!

Madanapale  02/23/06 @767

Being tired sure helps with the mood!!.....very nice work Ruth!....beautiful lighting!....well done! Carlos

Alleggra  02/23/06 @782

I have to agree with eowyn - this is really nice I like the other one a lot too. And even though the pose is similar, I feel something very different from both of them looking at them side by side. I would really like to see your eyes! That should be your next experiment

qsk0  02/23/06 @800

love it...nice lighting and colors...seems a lil bit tilted to the left

moserArtist  02/23/06 @849

Beautiful portrait and pose!!

UE-Skateman  02/23/06 @926

monjo  02/24/06 @077

Beautiful portrait Ruth. Very expressive. Well done! John

Notter  02/24/06 @102

sdavis75  02/24/06 @738

Beautful portrait; simple, effective composition. Well done, Ruth.

Passenger  02/24/06 @853

@Alleggra; I promise, my next experiment will be with open eyes Thanks all for your kind comments!

Cigaro  02/24/06 @963

no comments..just perfect

Almost-Human  02/25/06 @836

you could try just making the face in colour........ nice image..

ThruMyEyez  02/26/06 @002

I like the pensive mood. Well done! I disagree with Brian's idea, your hair color is too nice to change to B&W.

patrix77  02/26/06 @689

beautiful... you're beautiful Ruth and i love this pose, maybe because this is how i feel behind the cam I adore your hair

Mihai  02/26/06 @704

You are very beautiful. Nice pose and concept. Apart from waht has already been said, no other crits from me.

Foster  02/27/06 @097

I actually like this crop. I think it works very well. Nice job!

CRoWNs  02/27/06 @750

Sometimes let the silence answers should be best ..nice expression n nice portrait of such a lovely model <3

Dreamwalker  02/28/06 @372

...playing "Enigma - Silence must be heard" and looking here... nice atmosphere. "Look into the others' eyes, many frustrations Read between the lines, no words, just vibrations Don't ignore hidden desires Pay attention, you're playing with fire Silence must be heard, noise should be observed" I'm dedicate this song for you... dear special, Passenger! All the best, Andrei.

anibal1285  02/28/06 @722

Very Nice Ruth, u are a very pretty girl. I am agree with Mr. Blue about get more distance between you and the wall, even taking the fact that u live in a small student room, maybe u must try to find out a better location. And I would like to see a pic with open eyes... that will be interesting. Keep shooting...

DreamShadow  03/01/06 @495

great compo.the black is ok and i really love the hair...it's like thousands and thousands of wavy tentacles

d-n  03/01/06 @791

Andy--Jones  03/02/06 @914

Gawd you remind me of someone and I cat think who. Great photo! That hair is cool.

metapuppet  03/03/06 @756

like the bottom this time. the dark area works pretty good imo, but the rest lack's freshness (first one was better imo)

Basw  03/22/06 @903

Very interesting photo. I like it a lot. Great hair, btw. Awesome.

moduc  03/29/06 @480

But you don't look much alive this way ... as alive as your concert shots artists. I'd rather like to be like them but return to this silence at the end of the day..

FrankStrillione  03/31/06 @793

Looks like a Cd Cover....Great piece

TJS  04/02/06 @105

Yes very silent. Good work with the lighting.

ogu  04/09/06 @879

Look's like u are concentrating before taking a speach ... Cool

Wred  05/03/06 @910

Such a lovely capture. Very well taken.

smartdesyr  05/15/06 @889

wonderfull capture ..love the mood

illustmaster  05/23/06 @185

I love the silence...

Rita  05/23/06 @708

It is fantastic!

KamilKascha  05/24/06 @609

such a wonderful intense, deeply emotional, melancolic atmosphere you`ve created here. the huge amount of black let the viewer drown into the mood.

WolfJohn  05/25/06 @517

Lovely portrait

tetbautista  06/12/06 @450

everyone's sez it all ruth not much to say here. just, nice portrait. tet

compulsive  06/13/06 @839

Blacklaser  06/30/06 @939

BlackButter  08/18/06 @643

valiente  10/05/06 @881

Ruth, that's what I call a good portrait shot... well done 8/8

jasonworx  01/15/07 @408

Agree with Azurelle - "Amazing". Gorgeous model . I love the curls and the angle of your gaze. I do agree that the wall in the background could be blurred out, but it's not a big deal. Great image! - jason
