    Yuri,

    I would be glad to send you my comments, but first, let me quote from my past comments:

    "More of that great "Yuri light", and more beautiful portraits. I love the girl's brown eyes and the boy's freckles.

    Great portraits, I love them all."

    "You have this profound ability to bring out the best in people images; true "portraits".

    Excellent as usual and again.

    I gather the last two were particularly difficult lighting in that one side is darker than your normal preference. They are still very fetching images by any measure."

    "Just beautiful as always.

    #2 is so different from most of your work, with a strong shadow so close to the subject. I am a bit distracted by the shadow and the background is a little busy. The shadow is actually an odd shape and I'm wondering how it came to be like that.

    #1 and #7 have the greatest attraction for me because of the eyes and because the clothing lends itself to the shot. You achieve such a sense of lighting balance in these photos and I love the "wide, wrapping" light.

    Bravo,

    ziggy53     "

    Spasibo,

    Yuri

    I really like your work, although I rarely comment. But I have to say compared to your other shots, these are not up to your high standards.

    The only pose I like is the first one, but I don't like the PP- too blue for me.

    The others just seem a little "messy" for lack of a better word.

    Thanks for posting, always a pleasure to view your photos.

    Gene
