WOW!! This is really awsome
Hi Lena, thank you so much. She is very intense to say the least. Have a great day.
Thank you!
Wyjątkowe, naprawdę wyjątkowe!
Hello and thank you for those kind words. It took me a moment to find the translation but once I did I was very humbled. All the best to you.
Fantastic..fascinatingly sculptural ..should be exhibited
Thank you so much! Incredibly nice compliment to leave behind.
Wow Mark, you really captured this one. Was she posing or did you catch her by surprise? Either way, stunning portrait.
Hi Tina. She was not posing for this one. I captured another for which she did pose but as I usually find those shots do not have what I’m trying to achieve which is essentially the emotion of the second. Thanks as always for your wonderful comment.
Very intense portrait! Love it!
Thank you very much John 🙂
A VERY special and powerful portrait. Her eyes are almost scaring!
I look at it as a very powerful stare, very intense. Thank you very much for leaving your thoughts :).
Love it! It’s as if you could fall into her eyes. I feel calm looking at her. There seems to be a degree of surprise on her face. She looks on the verge of a .. smile? I hope it’s a smile.
She did smile shortly after, once she realized I was taking her photo so I do have another shot with a very different feel.
Fantastic
Thank you so much Laura, always so nice to get a compliment from such a wonderful photographer such as yourself.
You are most welcome Mark. I really love it. 🙂
that is penetrating!
Hi Joshi, I love your description!!
Strong portrait! Well done!
Thank you so much Vincent :). Have a great afternoon/day.
Mark, your magnificent portrait took my breath away when my eyes met hers. The effect of her eyes staring at me coupled with the unique lighting makes for a memorable experience viewing your image. Terrific work.
Thank you so much Jane. I find it very easy to be fully absorbed by those eyes. Your comments are always so appreciated. Have a great day!
How could I miss this one! This look is haunting. Where did you find her, Mark?
It was at a rally for our mayor who was seeking re-election. Needless to say her gaze caught my attention.
Amazing portrait.
Thank you so much :).
Lost for words…
What a wonderful compliment :). Thank you
Super intense!
Afterwards she was smiling but yes at that moment she was very intense. Cheers.
🙂
There is nothing quite as emotional as a good portrait captures (and very rare). Beautiful shot.
This is the ultimate compliment 🙂 I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a great night.
Those are some extraordinary eyes! Very intense and direct. You captured a very strong photo.
Thanks so much Otto. It was a very crowded area and I was able to get in close without much fuss. Speak to you soon.
Beautiful photo, love the capture of emotion
Thank you so much :). Her gaze really does cut right through you. Have a great day
