Following Jochen's suggestion, I gave some space, of the possible space, to the photo I posted earlier. Interestingly, I liked its effect, it became more interactive. However, we are now in an image that cannot be taken as "portrait", perhaps "street" or "documentary". What can you help me with? I send you two of these latest works, one in color and one in BW. I am prone to like BW better...thinking about cinema, I am led to remember Italian authors like Antonioni or Visconti ...

Hello again Jorge,

Welcome back to the forum, and thank you for sharing these two new versions of your portrait with us. I think they work very well, as we see the woman looking at someone. I personally love the second one with its sepia tones and hint of a rosy cheek; it seems nostalgic and cinematic. As for categories, I think Portrait could still be suitable, but you may receive other suggestions.

All the best, Elizabeth

Hi again Jorge,

 

yes, I am totally convinced this version works better then your tight crop.

I just done a tiny bit of doge and burn.... 

 

And why should it not be put in the portrait category? Works for me!
