Beautiful shot Carlos! I like the composition, cool light, cool details. nice idea background in B&W and the woman in color! Incredible and melancholic title ++++++10

RobertVovk  03/10/07 @686

This photo says more then thousand words. At first look it shows she is very sad. Desaturation really is a good solution in this case. I respect your work. Robert.

loneorbit  03/10/07 @707

Nice composition, desaturation works well here.

monjo  03/10/07 @737

Beautiful work Carlos. Excellent composition.The desat works very well here to center the attention on the subject. John

Arik  03/10/07 @869

Beatiful as always! very nice expression. love to view your works.

moserArtist  03/10/07 @871

I am a big fan of desat works and this was an excellent piece for doing it! The characters you capture are full of emotion and moody! Just love it! Only technical defect is the overexposure on her right arm imo.

ClaraSoto  03/10/07 @871

The drama of millions is pictured here my lovely friend!!!! Her body expression saids everything .... beautiful work !!! love

Tommyguns  03/10/07 @881

Stunning shot! Very captivating and emotional! Well done Carlos! Tommyguns

Sammie  03/10/07 @924

the desat does work very well. I like her pose and the square framing. Nice work Carlos, as always.

Penraeth  03/10/07 @960

I like how she's done her hair. This is a really fine work and perfect title.

cupcake  03/10/07 @976

A beautiful sensitive picture of a beautiful lady ! You depicted her very well . +10

IraMelanox  03/11/07 @042

This is a photo made with the heart, not with the camera... you've got an amazing sensitivity to human nature. +10, wish it could be more

CocoNoir  03/11/07 @144

I actually like the portrait better than the 'main' picture... The expression in the portrait is just SO STRONG!! Somehow the desaturation does not work for me completeley.... I think lowering the saturation works well (I'm a fan of b&w photos and low saturation myself) but not completeley.... That would be my opinion. Sea como sea, siguen siendo fotos fantastiscas Carlos! Mucho respeto y admiracion por tu trabajo. Gabriel.

Sammie  03/11/07 @169

I think this would make a wonderful b&w as well “Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.” -Siddharta

Itzpapalotl  03/11/07 @261

beautiful shot! i love shots like this. no critiques.

Garden-Of-Eden  03/11/07 @373

great work. the image is very touching.

MrBlue  03/11/07 @374

I like the CK but could also see it in B/W. Very moody portrait again! That's your field of expertise. +10

deManuel  03/11/07 @385

Excelente trabajo Carlos. Siempre consigues que tus fotografias desprendan sentimientos. +10

Almost-Human  03/11/07 @403

Perfect subject for selective desaturation ! My only crit is to go back to the origional file and see if you can Dodge/darken the side/edge of the arm she is resting accross her knees and remove the overexposed area... other that that its fantastically sad ! YOUR WORK IS A RAINBOW OF EMOTIONS !!

eremita  03/11/07 @427

I love this photo, very beautiful, I love the feets of the lady so dirty and fragil but at the same time full of stories and pure.

ahwayakchih  03/11/07 @458

Excellent photo! Sad & beautiful. And nice, warm. I don't know how to describe all of that i felt looking at this photo. +8/8

anastasia  03/11/07 @533

I agree with Eremita's comment. This photo combines many things together. Many emotions and history... Beautiful...

Bookzie  03/11/07 @544

great again!! top marks.

Simpok  03/11/07 @545

perfect pose for the title! top marks!

ThruMyEyez  03/11/07 @571

It's all been said. An excellent portrayal as always Carlos.

Madanapale  03/11/07 @614

Thanks to you all for the kind comments! I did try a black and white version but the main subject got confused again with the background......and OK....Patrick and Brian, I will do my homework and look for the original file to try to improve the arm. Carlos

Wallace  03/11/07 @705

Sorry I'm late! Fantastic shot Carlos, the selective desat is a great decicion. Powerfull and emotional shot. + 10

moserArtist  03/11/07 @714

Haha... LOL Carlos your arm surgery looks not very good She looks to have large dark hairs on that one arm now... LMAO Try again!

Madanapale  03/11/07 @743

I just will leave the old version Patrick.....the spot is anyway a small one. Thanks !!!!!!

sanchospencer  03/11/07 @937

Awesome as always Carlos, truly awesome. Again you've captured the essence of someone's soul perfectly. A picture says a thousand words, yours say a million.

mARTina777  03/12/07 @287

This work has depth, in its execution as well as content. For me this pictures shows the beauty of age in a natural way. For me she represents a natural feeling to her body, even sensual, without the need to push this innocent feel for oneself on a sexual level, which with age (wisdom) does become less important, as the mind is filled with far more exiting things by then. Although I am aware that this is often wishful thinking, as many aged do just get stuck in lives hardship, without ever really experiencing of who we can be and what happiness we are able of. Can anyone tell me how I can change my e-mail address in the profile section? Everything can be added to but that. An e-mail to GFX did not bring any response. Martina

MsMichelleLynn  03/12/07 @387

Very well done desat Carlos. She does now stand out so very well from the grayish background. I do see some white ares around the edges of her face which I find a bit distracting and also the over-exposure on her arm but these are minor. The photo is beautiful. Michelle

ogu  03/12/07 @423

Very well done.I love the colors +10

gothjod  03/12/07 @691

How do you do it.... How? it always amazes me how you manage to capture these moments. Perhaps its just being in the right place at the right time, but always? Congrataz on another awesome portrait. Matt

sdavis75  03/14/07 @528

Wonderful shot, Carlos. Very effective use of selective desat. Well done as always! +10

killadore  03/18/07 @031

another classic..thanks for sharing these stories with us. 10

mrhollow  03/19/07 @830

Your portraits are insightful and poignant, she is beautiful in the same way that a gnarled tree or weathered shoreline is beautiful. I'm not a fan of this style of desaturation, but the impact is appropriate. There is as much to be said for technical merit as for emotional impact. Cheers, Aaron

APGRR  03/20/07 @574

Fantastic portrait!

EideticImage  03/20/07 @668

Almost-Human said it best .."Your work is a rainbow of emotions" I whole-heartedly agree ^^ Powerful and touching photograph

dogg57  03/29/07 @572

mmm...You have the eye for people! Getting older looking at this makes you think.Cant wait to more people pictures.Great as always Carlos!!

Quang  03/30/07 @789

Jesus christ. Your work always has such an impact. I would love to set up a situation were you have no title, name, or any information about the shot and see what people get from it. Point is, I always end up question myself when looking at your work instead of questioning you. Which in my book makes you successful. Thanks for the shot.
