Somehow it seems incredibly sad and reflective. The multi coloured wig just seems to add to that sense of sadness.

Intersting portrait. I like the detail in the wrinkles and the strong collision between the colorful supposedly funny whig and the rather sad expression on the face.

+ Interesting contents. Why is she dressed up like that? Party?
- She's in the middle. Crop away some space at the right.

Brenda M says:

+ The the picture is so expressive and contradictory. the colors of the wig. It's a great portrait.
- A non-centered composition would help.

Rated 6 out of 10 in the 100 Points group.

Perfectly sharp. Interesting to add these colours like the advert as in united colours. But I want to see the face. If this is just any old woman and it is just a piece of conceptual art fine, but not my taste.

yo, i like that capture, teh colors and lightning are great. also teh light contrast between teh little soorowful and tired look and teh happiness given by the colrs.

good potrait and contrast between the colourfull hair and the rotten expresion,
Maybe a bit too far on saturation as the skin doesnt look natural
From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 6/7 ranking.

acshepard says:

She doesn't look like she is celebrating at all and that is the baeuty of this shot. I agree with the previous post about oversaturation on the skin, but your subject is perfect.

Plenty of comments on this one. i too like the shot. if it was possible i would like to see more of the hair, its just colorful and bright, sad to see it croped off. Beautiful photo.....

koduckgirl says:

this is a really great portrait
the use of the wig that is so cheerful and her pensiveor maybe just quiet mood is great contrast

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 7/7 ranking.

Leviathor says:

The subject is too centered for the composition. Moving the lady to the right of frame would crop off the uninterestingness that is all the black of her left side.

A great portrait, though. The clash between the wild wig and the withered expression is magical.

From the MiRea's Realm Group, you are given a 5/7 ranking.
