Beautiful! I have never seen her up close like that! The hue of the sky makes good contrast for the details of her face!

Thanks for the compliment on the image itself. Also...the title is quite perfect. I suggest perhaps keeping the critique to an actual evaluation of the work itself is more appropriate for a professional.

(in response to the messages you sent me) You see politics in it without regarding the actual term "tramp" or how it applies to the image at hand. You comment on an image of a photographer you don't follow, with the idea that you are giving a critique when in fact you are confused about what that word means as well. You see, giving a critique involves questioning, communication, professional suggestions, and real-world applications, In a community space, such as this, most of the time the goal is to improve not only the work of others but also to improve your work. Giving a critique that is professional rarely includes statements of opinion that do not back themselves up. Because that's not a critique, that is just going to some random person work and leaving your opinion. The term "tramp" was used as a verbal weapon - a way to demean a woman who values the power of her femininity & humanity, who values independence, and who stands on her own. When women took it back in the late 50s it became a term of empowerment. You see an image and immediately assume intention, and add your comment without actual curiosity for the purpose of the title, and then reside with the attitude that you are the keeper of titles. Silly. That itself is not professional, helpful, and it doesn't help your work grow nor does it help the work of others. Best to you, babe, and please move on and build yourself up and others.
