Excellent portrait! I love B/W but not agree with Jorge, I love colours since I am an artist, I know both are beautiful in their own way. Great work Galina!

Wonderful feeling of contact between model and photographer! She looks wide awake.

I adore the open words of Jorge. For me the chose of b+w is perfect though.

Excellent, classy portrait, very dignified pose, perfect light.
To me, color is missing . I respect , indeed, the author options, but the B&W more than enough times is used by a misconcept, B&W is Art, color is entertainment.
In the first time of sound movies, some may have missed the piano sound. Who remember those ?
I insist, this is not a critic, but no more than a "philosophic" concept of my own
Kind regards

so many nice things about this from the contrast of texture between hat and garment to the contrast of shapes between dots and rectangles in the woven hat...great expression, nice tight crop, always a favorite of mine
