She is beautiful and has a lovely expression. She can smile with the eyes too...

One of the best portraits I've seen.. beautifully done.. there is a sensitivity to her face.. in her expression..
Ana Carloto O'Shea09-Jun-2006 11:03
This is quite a capture Galina!! A wonderful close up portrait that despite the fact that she was posing, it did not lose a bit of the natural and casual look one might get if it wasn't so. I like it a lot actually. Looks great in b&w and you've controled the light very well too. Congratulations.

Galina excellent capture of pose and expression. The subject looks so comfortable and natural. The eyes have such depth and are so expressive. I like it, well done!!

Indeed ! A lovely shot and a lovely girl 8-)

As others have said, her eyes are smiling and they show her person..
But also I think her finger nails show she is also involved in doing active things perhaps.

Yes, your portraiture skills are impoving to amazing levels as each of your uploads show. There's a quility of gentleness on your part that shows through via your models.

Well developed, in the way you are working on.

Breathtaking, captivating, bewitching, magnificent and enchanting portrait.. ~Voted~
Guest 05-Jun-2006 11:18
confidence and inner peace - self-acceptance....

I think the reason we see this in her eyes is because her smile and her eyes agree in what they are saying - so often, the eyes don't agree with the smile and then we get a mixed message...her do so people spot it right away...makes for a truly beautiful human...a rare one...
Guenter Eh05-Jun-2006 11:04
Yes - I agree with Lucie: "Speaking eyes"!!! What a peace in this picture! Georgous portrait Galina!
Chris Sofopoulos05-Jun-2006 11:04
Beautiful expression Galina!
shatterbug05-Jun-2006 06:43
Penetrating eyes! She looks happy, and I wonder what she is thinking?
AL05-Jun-2006 04:18

Glendower05-Jun-2006 01:53
Calm, beautiful, happy portrait.
Leslie Cohelan05-Jun-2006 01:13
a great expression here, what Lucie said is so true about her eyes...beautiful portraiture
Guest 05-Jun-2006 00:29
You took a beautiful angle to make this portrait, Galina. It works perfectly with her pose and her expression. Her eyes "speak" (as we would say in French).
