thanks. i think they are flowers, but not sure... )

They are both very nice. Certainly nothing like I see around here. Do you know what they are? I really like the orange and green together.

I like it for its simplicity and that she's focussed something other than the camera. All in all a beautiful portrait.

really personal photo. I do relly like it. even if it might not meet most things, but silence comes in to my mind when looking at this.

thanks all. yeah the crop was to avoid distracting objects in the frame to the left.. normally I'd have done the crop how i wanted then exported to gimp and cloned out the distracting objects, but I was in the mood to be consistently lazy... and the focus was where it was because I was trying to include some detail from the head band..

You're a true master of processing. it is not overdone and I like the compositions too.

This is a keeper for sure. I bet it would look great in black and white.

Still a lovely shot. Reminds me of a Vermeer painting somehow.

Interesting viewpoint here. I would have liked her full face to be in sharp focus versus the upper part. Great lens and wonderful shot though.

Worth the effort I'd say. Captured an interesting expression without here actually facing the camera directly.
