I love the mood and feel this picture has; sorrowful, but not morbid and simple.
The pose of the model itself is really unique; simple, yet expressive. The lighting on her back illuminates all the right places. My only problems with this thing in particular is her right shoulder (your left), which looks oddly placed, but it doesn't really take away anything from the picture, just one off those small chinks in the armor, as one may say. The other thing is particular area in the top of her bun (as other user pointed out) that I can't quite make out. It kind of looks like a hairpin, but I can't really be sure. But besides these two minor details, which are really insignificant to the photo, the pose is perfect.
One thing that does distract a little is the background. As you can see, the edge of the window in this picture is crooked, probably due to the certain angle in which the photo was shot, maybe meant to make the model look less slouched against the table. But, at least for me, the (seemingly) completely horizontal table and the diagonal windowsill kind of confuses me and focuses a bit more of the viewer's attention on it, instead of the mood itself. Or maybe that's just be being obsessive (most likely).
In all, I think this is a wonderful photo, with just enough emotion put into it. The leaves (apologies if they aren't leaves) are a very nice touch, giving the photo a bit more of emotion in a sort of poetic kind of way. The lighting is perfect, and it gives the photo the perfect depth. The soggy windows were also a really nice touch. It is a really nice picture and I love it, crooked background and all. Really nice work you got here.

I really love the emotion and the atmosphere created in this picture. It's dark, sad and yet feminine and soft. I really like the shadows that excentuates her bony body. I don't particulary like when there are shadows on skinny girls on a count on it makes them look not as healthy, but in this picture it's portrayed beautifully and it really suits the mood of the picture. The small amount of detail like the leaves (I hope that's leaves, if not sorry, for miss understanding.) gives some additional material for the picture. It's not to much to over power the photo, but just enough to give just a little of that umph. Really nice work. Keep on going. I will definitely check out more of your work.

I love the emotion within this portrait, the pose is a little awkward but beautiful at the same time. Its simple yet expressive.
There is only 2 things that I am having trouble with and I'm not sure if it is just me or the actual portrait. I don't understand what's on the table, it looks sort of like a doll or a miniature flag, burnt paper maybe. It leaves me guessing? which sometimes isn't a good thing.
Another thing is that bright dot just about the bun in your hair, is it a glare on the lense, a pin in the hair or something reflective maybe. It just distracts me from the overall theme of the photograph.
I have to say the soft blue light highlights certain areas of your skin makes the portrait come alive in a sort of... stuck in a mental institute but not insane or the last person on the planet, sort of way.
Overall, it is a beautiful portrait, with a beautiful person in it. I would love to have painted this, because it screams emotion. I would buy this as a print if I had the money. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

"Heartsore" to be apart from that kind of love torn from an embrace pure and true. Blue is the background which fades into the stillness. What will be of loving tenderness when alone she kneels, only her bones and pale soft skin to feel the shadowy trace of that loving embrace. ...
If i could, i would humbly give it back to you: to mend your heart, to keep your beautiful art breathing.

I think I would like it more if the edges of the table were more defined, especially at the bottom edge. It's a bit distracting trying to figure out where the table ends and the woman begins. I love the expression and pose, though. Very evocative.Β
