Photographer's Note
When a Cuban girl becomes 15 years they get a real celebration. She kindly posed before my camera and did this with the real look of a professional.
Happy newyear to everybody!

Interesting portrait.
However, I would preffer to see more light on face. May be if You would asked her to turn right (seems window is from the right) and then fliped image on PC, the portrait will be more impressive.

bonjour Griet,
cette photo que j'avais vu il y a un moment,et oubliι de commenter!!est d'une grβce extraordinaire.Il n'y a rien ΰ redire,sauf une note plas argumentιe sur ce que representent les 15 ans d'une jeune fille en Amιrique Latine,(pas seulement ΰ Cuba).En gros cette coutume consiste ΰ signaler que "la fille est bonne ΰ marrier" et que les prιtendants peuvent se manifester ΰ l'occasion de la cιrιmonie.
Evidemment,"en ville" c'est un reliquat de tradition et les jeunes disposent de leur vie.
amicalement.patrick.

Welcome again!
Fantastic portrait of a beautiful Cubanian model, I would say. I love her gaze and self confidence. She must be aware of her beauty.
Nice mild tones. For me your pic is perfect.
warm greets

a beautiful portrait, griet. nice pastel-like blur of the background in crisp contrast against the girl's attire. a couple nitpicky notes: i do not mind the model's eyes being in the shadow, but it seems, the focus is on the edge of the hat rather than on her eye. second, for my very personal taste, i would move the girl slightly to the right: closer to the right 1/3 line. i suspect, you wanted to include the yellow highlight from the window in your composition though. hope you don't mind my nitpicking. as i said at the beginning the portrait is beautiful. TFS.
regards,
kristaps
