I think this is great, I like a lot the play of "twice two parts" - the girl and the tree in the background, and then light and shadow on girl's face, you might even call a philosophical duality of humans and nature, of light and dark. interesting :) technically impeccable work, and I love the warm light. great shot, my compliments.

best,
Kristine

Hello JS,

Great composition, but I guess I'd have moved it a bit to the left or cut off a bit of the tree to create a more balanced compo, but that's just my two cents and the real magic here is in the light on the girl's face, anyway. Excellent image!

Great use of shadow on the girl's face. With the baobab in the background the photo looks stunning and a little unreal. I like how you cropped the fruit on the girl's head. Her expression is real, not posed. Super, professional job.

Hello,
A great portrait! The light on the half of her face does a very good job! And the blurred tree completes the composition!
Greetings from Greece,

I am not so convinced by the deep shadow over the right side of the girl's face; for me it kind of breaks the flow of this wonderful scene.

quite original,
the composition is a killer
i'm not 100% convinced by the shadow on the left but it works

Increíble fotografía. Muy bien diseñada en su composición, es un retrato muy singular con el punto focal desplazado hacia la izquierda. Esa maravillosa y tenue luz que baña el rostro complementa muy bien la fotografía.
Es una hermosa fotografía.

bonjour,

une magnifique image : la jeune fille en premier plan trés nette et le baobab, flou derrière, le tout sur soleil couchant!
bravo
