Excelente retrato!
Felicitaciones!


Larissa Nazarova   {K:12096} 6/23/2005
Hello, Kiarang. well done shot, i just little concern about composition, if you never mind. too much empty space on the left upper corner, for charming model i will be turn her head liitle more to show her face, actially - no liitle different angle. Sorry, it's just my vision.
My regards, larissa


Linda Bique   {K:73877} 6/23/2005
Kiarang this is stunning!! I love it. the lighting is wonderful illuminating her beautifully, I love that you are always doing something different. Your dof is perfect and the composition brilliant...so very wonderful..and you kept everything in perspective shooting from that angle. She is so beautiful and this is so very well done....:):)Linda


Toshi    {K:12024} 6/23/2005
Great angle/perspective for this portrait. I like the empty space as it gives it the feeling of being alone. I think I would've liked to see the bottom of the chair though :) Well captured Kiarang!


cesira urzi   {K:1768} 6/23/2005
beautiful colours and lighting, just like a renaissance painting


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:177120} 6/23/2005
a nice girl portrait, a nice light very delicate and an unusual point of view!
is suspended in the black background,
an other idea (for me) is to see the girl from a point low..
it tries ..
have a good day and thanks for your words so kind to me,
:)

Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*Hi kind friend; Roby. i was worried if this unusual angle is likeable for viewers or not for such a classic portrait like this. and now you encourage me. thanks...


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*Welcome dear Urzi,thanks for yoru describe, that's more than my photo, i too, like experimenting with different film speed and lighting conditions.thanks for share your opinion...


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005

Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*Humble thanks for your god suggestions and helps Larissa, i like this angle and perspective, i was trying to have a bit from her face, but maybe you are right, it needs more turn.


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*Dear Ellen, welcome.thanks for your nice feeling. i saw your portfolio and it was like a walking in a garden...thanks.

dear Kiarang,
It's excellent portrait and very good still, color and light.
very nice...
my rate is over the 7 and biggert than...
oh, this my new website I like you visite this and comments it: www.aksnevesht.com byt it's 1 day ago is conversasion and not very write and pic.


mary karimi   {K:10818} 6/23/2005
hi dear kiarang,

it is a good experimental work, you theach me that "Experimental shots always are bravely because the photographer is doing some things new for test to see the viewer's reaction." do you remember it?
now , I think that you could succeed and can be a bravely photographer.

my criticism :
the lighting is wonderful I like the empty space in the left side but if you had a little space in an other side ( I mean near the right shoulder's Kamelia )and also croping one centimeter from the top of your shot ,maybe you had a more balance composition.
also I loved to see the bottom of the polish chair...
I love your angle.
her look has a real meaning ..." I've sat here for You..." I can touch that feeling.
take care,

oh,bebakhash ke in ghadr toolani shod!!!

hamishe sad va pirooz bashi,
mary


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*Many thanks pooriya, i will look.


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*Mary,
I'm realy humble for all your honesty/hearty opinions and feelings.
about compositin i agree with you. and i'm glad you too, like this one.


Joggie van Staden   {K:41251} 6/23/2005
Very good - the large dark space works well to create the mood. Great work Kiarang.

Bhaskar A. V.   {K:1246} 6/23/2005
Wonderful. This is different my friend Kiarang. There is a lot you are teaching to the entire community by your simple yet powerful pictures.


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*No! that's kind of you, just it Bhaskar.I'm a student....


Femke de Wit   {K:5172} 6/23/2005
Kiarang, lovely shot but I agree with Larissa about the dark empty space, it's too much and I don't know if you can see better on your computer the partition between her hair and the dark background, you can hardly see it. I tried to let show you with another picture of her if you don't mind. It's a pity because you make very good pictures of her. But the most important thing is that believe in your own skill. The comments of a picture are always very subjective.Please go on! Kind regards, Femke



mary karimi   {K:10818} 6/23/2005
dear kiarang,

be HAPPY for ever and ever....

mary


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/23/2005
*My dear Femke,
Thanks as always.
you take many time to think about my shots and help me.that's a chance for me.
using empty space usualy is a thing out of classic rules and for me : a personal taste.
I interest to use more empty space and less area for the subject.
you can see this mood in some of my shots:

or

& here

although it may not seen well for the viewers, but anyway...i still like this metude.
i saw your effort, thanks about it, it is going to a square composition, but i realy don't want to miss vertical composition for this waiting feel.because vertical shot is enhancing the feeling here.
Thanks again for your attempts, please continue commenting on those shots you like in my portfolio.


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 6/24/2005
Great work Kiarang. Love the dark background surrounding the innocent subject. :) Lovely.


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 6/24/2005
*dear Cheryl,
let me at first tell my congratulate for your realy nice "Waiting Patiently" that's an unique one in your collection.
then,thanks for find the innocence feeling in this shot.

Trish McCoy   {K:20866} 6/29/2005
superb image. love how you shot this. excellent.


Umberto Bazzoni   {K:1404} 6/29/2005
Superb composition and definition Kiarang! Very excellent work!


Eric Peterson   {K:4210} 7/15/2005
Beautiful portrait and good use of negative space. The only thing I might suggest (and I hesitate to do this given the consistent quality of your work) is a low power backlight or reflector for rim lighting to define the edge of her hair and keep it from blending into the black around her.

Eric


Kiarang Alaei   {K:48453} 7/16/2005
*Thanks Eric, i agree with you about lighting, thanks for your helps.


Hamed Noori   {K:7345} 7/16/2005
Excelente ..


Mehdi Shahdad   {K:78} 9/1/2005
very good composition and lighting. the subject is nicely sitting just at the bottom of the photo.
but the photo is soft (like most of the other digital pics and thet bothers me)


samira sokhandani   {K:90} 3/29/2008
عکس فوق العاده زیبا و لطیفی است . لطافت زن و گلها به زیبایی هرچه تمامتر به نمایش گذاشته شده اند. مسئله جنسیت با استادی هرچه تمامتر در این تصویر نشان داده شده است. زنانگی لطافت زن عشق زن و مهر زن کاملا نمایان و مشهود میباشد . زاویه دید از بالا احساس تسلط بر زن را القا میکند اما نه با نگاهی مستبدانه و استثمار گر برعکس با نگاهی سرشار از محبت و عشق نسبت به جنس مونث.
اما زن نگران و غمگین شاید پشت به تمام این احساسات میکند و ترجیح میدهد که احساسات زنانه و لطیف خود را خرج گلهای قرار گرفته در دامانش کند
