Wow. What an impact.
I don't often comment, as you know Fernando. But sometimes I am driven to make a comment on one of your images.Last edited by Donald; 28th September 2010 at 08:34 PM.

I really like the way she's facing the camera straight on but looking slightly up, it's very striking.

I like it. The contrast and shine on the face add interest and drama.

Re: Giokonda
Well, no-one else has mentioned it so I will. "Giokonda" is the Portuguese(?) version of "La Gioconda" which is the name of the Mona Lisa. The smile says it all!

Re: Giokonda
I love the effect of the post processing... It gives the look of a bronze statue; except for the eyes which show her as very warm and human...
